Columbia River Greenway $10,000
Columbia River Greenways Alliance

Greenways are ribbons of protected open space that link reserves, parks, and cultural sites with each other and the communities around them. By securing or enhancing wildlife habitat and pedestrian recreational opportunities they contribute to conservation, recreation, and growth management. In 2003-2004, the CRGA will continue to improve public awareness of the need to conserve the grassland and riparian ecosystems of the Upper Columbia River, while also developing on-the-ground projects that protect or restore those ecosystems. Through education and outreach, interpretation, delivery of guided walks, and the development of strong working partnerships, especially with local and regional government, the Greenways Alliance reaches a diverse audience, thereby promoting local stewardship. By developing a physical greenway network, we are working to secure both the ecological and recreational legacy of the region. By coupling the protection of local habitats with public access to “front country” amenities and broad based ecological and stewardship education, the Greenways Alliance works to ensure the long term sustainability of the ecosystems that support this region, the communities that enjoy them, and the local economies that rely on them.
