Battleground School District, City of Vancouver Parks & Rec, Clark County Parks, Clark County Public Health Department, Clark Public Utilities, Friends of Trees, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Parks Foundation of Clark Co., Vancouver Watersheds Alliance

The Intertwine Alliance continues its spring 2016 series of sub-regional gatherings in Clark County, Washington.

Where: Luke Jensen Sports Center, Bud Van Cleve Community Room
4000 N.E. 78th St., Vancouver, WA

Cost: Free and open to the public.

RSVP here. 

We invite groups and advocates who see the enormous value that a connected system of parks, trails and natural areas has on our region to come together and discuss how we can strategically build upon the important legacy and infrastructure in Clark County and surrounding areas. On June 14 we will hold an event that will be a platform to understand the current challenges and opportunities in this arena and envision new possible collaborative efforts to further the build-out of our trails system in Clark County.

We will have presentations and conversations to assess where we are and where we want to go, and then begin to develop a road map to get there. With coordination support from The Intertwine Alliance, this event will bring thought leaders together with those at the front lines of trail development, management and maintenance to help us develop strategies to move these efforts forward.

An agenda will be posted shortly.

As always, there will be time for networking and connecting during a reception at the end of our deliberations.

This event is hosted by Clark County Parks, and is free for all attendees. 

Please RSVP here to reserve your spot.

8470 SW Oleson Rd
Portland, OR 97223

This serene several acre piece of property is in a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood but has been covered with blackberries, ivy, laurel and other non-natives. Gradually we have gotten rid of much of it and have been planting natives. Still, there is much to do to make it the nativescape we desire for the habitation of birds, animals, insects, and people - both our members and guests and the neighbors whom we invite to enjoy it. We will have light refreshments throughout and the coffeepot is always on. There will be a number of our members there to work with you. Activities include: Invasive Plant Removal, Litter Cleanup, Native Planting.
