Join with Washington Trails Day to give back to trails on National Trails Day!

We'll be doing annual maintenance, brushing and tread work on the Trapper Creek Trail in a beautiful gem of a Wilderness protecting Old-Growth in Big Foot Country (Gifford Pinchot National Forest)

No prior experience necessary, we'll provide tools, instruction and after work party refreshments. Please see the registration link for more info and to RSVP.

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

When: Tuesday, June 14, from 2 to 5 p.m. 

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.
