Columbia River Greenway - $8,000

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 the 2004/2004 project year, in partnership with the Mark Kingsbury Foundation, the CGRA will focus on greenways education and interpretation. Projects will focus on improving public awareness and understanding of the need to conserve the grassland and riparian ecosystems of the Upper Columbia River. The mission of the CRGA is: to develop a network of linear corridors of open natural spaces that maintain the wildlife habitat and recreational legacy of the region and enhance the ecological, economic and community well-being of the Upper Columbia Valley.

Responsibility for the conduct of all greenways projects rests with the CRGA Board of Directors. Where appropriate and feasible the BOD will contract discrete project components to qualified consultants.
