Columbia Gorge Earth Center DBA Gorge Owned is a member-supported organization helping people invest in a strong local economy, healthy environment and vibrant community in the Columbia Gorge.We envision a vibrant Columbia Gorge where locally owned businesses thrive and are able to provide family-wage jobs, where people know how to reduce their environmental footprint and are inspired to do so, and where people in different parts of the Gorge feel connected rather than divided by geographic barriers.We value Community, Environment, Prosperity, Action, Integrity, Creativity and Shared Learning.
