- Walking and biking trails to connect communities to parks and natural areas
- Grants for community led greenspace projects
- Park improvements at Metro sites including Blue Lake, Oxbow, and Chehalem Ridge

All projects will prioritize building landscape resiliency to reduce the impacts of climate change while promoting social and racial equity in order to bring nature to all communities in our region.
Bird Alliance of Oregon is also urging Portland voters to Vote Yes on 26-204 – to increase protections for Bull Run Watershed, Portland’s watershed.
