Take the survey, but realize that online polls are in no way scientific or representative of the general population. When we voted to give Metro money to purchase land and create parks and natural areas, didn't anyone at Metro think then about how these lands would be taken care of? I'm sure they did. The need for the 2013 levy was step 2.
Over the past 20 years, the public has entrusted Metro to create a great place with the protection of more than 16,000 acres across the region to protect clean air and water, restore habitat, and create opportunities to enjoy and be in nature. These investments have allowed Metro and partners to create places like Graham Oaks Nature Park near Wilsonville, Canemah Bluff Natural Area in Oregon City, and the Gresham-Fairview Trail. In 2013 the public approved a local option levy to help care for this growing collection of parks and natural areas and enhance experiences for visitors.

To do this Metro is asking how natural areas, parks and trails can best serve the needs of communities across the region. What do you value most about these places? What are your priorities for access to nature, conservation education, restoration, and trail connections across the region?
To help us answer this question please take 5-10 minutes to answer the seven questions in this survey. Your input will kick off the first phase of planning and help establish a community-driven baseline of values and wishes for Metro's parks, natural areas and regional trails. What helps make this a great place for you?
Thank you for your participation!
