Portland has become a model for integrating a commitment to healthy, connected, and green communities with our regional planning and environmental management. Now, Metro and the City of Portland have partnered to jointly further this effort in our region.

Commissioner Fish and Metro President David Bragdon introduced 'Intertwine,' formerly 'Connecting Green,' at Wednesday's Council session.

Working to strengthen partnerships across agencies, sectors, and jurisdictions is a priority for Commissioner Fish. Our goal of creating a world-class system of parks, trails, and natural areas won't be achieved without this collaboration.
