Regional coalition advocating for parks, trails & nature and equitable access for all

[The Intertwine Alliance @TheIntertwine]

Thank you, Intertwine Alliance, for bringing home 3 wins for parks, nature & equitable access last week! More than 70% of voters said YES to renew Metro's 5-year parks & nature levy. In Tualatin, voters approved a parks bond, and in Happy Valley, renewed the 5-year parks levy.

The @CityofTualatin bought Basalt Creek Canyon, located across the street from multiple residential developments. Metro provided $1.6 million toward Basalt Creek Canyon using funds from the 2019 parks and nature bond local share program. https://t.co/WGuD6c4LIb
