Engage With The Alliance 

It takes hearts, hands and minds to build The Intertwine’s 3,000 square miles of parks, trails and natural areas. This is the work of The Intertwine Alliance—a unique coalition of 130+ public, private and nonprofit organizations in the Portland/Vancouver region.

Through the organizing framework of Collective Impact, we identify priority work areas, set goals and guide progress.

Focus areas we're working in include Active Transportation, Conservation Education, Conservation, Economic Development, Equity, Health & Nature, Public Engagement/Our Common Ground Campaign, Youth Engagement, Urban Forestry and the Regional System of Parks, Trails and Natural Areas. 

Check back here for frequent updates, resources and calendar items, as we shape a positive new future for The Intertwine, powered by you.

Each spring and fall, The Intertwine Alliance convenes its partners and key supporters for a day of networking, information exchange, and celebration. Our Spring 2014 Summit is right around the corner -- Save the date!


  We're thrilled to debut some exciting concepts for the new marketing campaign that Alliance partners are working to roll out this spring. View Frank Creative's Three Concepts for The Intertwine Marketing Campaign.


Parks Commissioner Nick Fish has announced that he is committed to bringing a Portland Parks & Recreation bond measure to the City Council for the November 2013 ballot. The bond will help repair deteriorating parks and facilities as well as ensure social justice for all Portlanders by bringing new parks to neighborhoods without them. Details on the size (likely $150-250 million) and specific projects will be forthcoming, but both Commissioner Fish and Director Mike Abbaté are encouraged by the support this idea has already generated among Portlanders.
