Title	Tualatin Hills Nature Park
Creator.Persons	D'Agostino, Fernanda, 1950-
Notes	Built 1998. Project Description: This nature trail was the result of a collaboration of the artist and landscape architects to provide access to a marshland environment from the Millikan Way light rail station. The result was a branching boardwalk and observation blinds to allow visitor observation of the indigenous and migrating birds and wildlife. Located just south of the tracks of the Millikan Way station, the artist and landscape architects created a pathway system which leads visitors through a quiet wooded area onto a boardwalk that spans a large wetland. A viewing blind provides protection for visitors to observe the various wildlife including a number of migratory birds which use the marshland for sanctuary, feeding and nesting. The marshland is accessible to people using mobility devices. Project History: Shortly following the artists involvement with this project the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District planned to create a trail system and interpretive center that would open at the same time as the light rail transit station. The artist reshaped her original vision with a plan to create hand-carved perching poles, sandblasted boulders and trail markers. Ultimately, she became involved in the design of the entire project. Project Location: south of the light rail tracks at the Millikan Way station, Merlo Road/SW 158th, Portland, OR. Size: 200 acres
