Land Acknowledgments
About
NW Outdoor Science School serves school districts across the State of Oregon. NW Outdoor Science School Administrative offices are located at The Washington Service Center. This location also serves as NW Regional ESD's regional office.
Land Acknowledgement
Every community owes its existence to those who took part in the making of the history that led us to where we are today. Some were brought to these lands against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in pursuit of a better life, and some have lived here for more generations than can be counted.
We acknowledge that the Washington Service Center, the Regional office facility of Northwest Regional ESD lays on the traditional lands of the Atfalati, Clatskanie and Kalapuya peoples, past and present. In our daily work in service to Washington County, we aspire to honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations.
All outdoor education takes place on Indigenous Land. To find out more about the land where you live, visit: native-land.ca
