The Urban Greenspaces Institute
The Urban Greenspaces Institute is the only non-profit organization in the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region that works exclusively on urban parks, trails, and greenspace issues in the almost 3,000-square-mile Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington Intertwine region.
Our primary focus is assisting in the creation and work of The Intertwine Alliance, a coalition of nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and corporate partners collaborating to create a world-class, interconnected system of parks, trails, and natural areas.
We seek to better integrate the natural and built environments and ensure that parks, trails, and greenspaces are included in growth-management strategies for the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region.
Additional projects include:
**Ecosystem Services and Green Infrastructure
**Creating A Healthy Willamette River
**Field Trips and Activities
