Collaborations
Bird Alliance of Oregon and Columbia Land Trust co-manage the Backyard Habitat Certification Program.
We additionally partner with Friends of Tryon Creek and the Watershed Alliance to implement the program in Lake Oswego and Clark County.
Importance of collaborations
Partnerships and collaborations are essential parts of our program, both in helping us achieve increased habitat connectivity, and also by helping our program be more equitable and inclusive. Our collaborations with community based organizations help us engage diverse communities and learn more about how we can best serve the many communities that call our region home.
Working Groups and Community-Based Organizations
Working groups ensure that BHCP is operating in alignment with regional priorities. Community-based organizations, “friends of” groups, and other non-profit partners support outreach, publicity, special events, and equity initiatives.
