SAVE THE DATE for Friends Of Clark County’s upcoming forum on parks, "Bridging the Gap: Funding our Parks and Trails."
Our first forum of 2026 will be on Thursday, January 22nd from 5 – 6:30 pm and will be focused on parks in Clark County.
Exploring natural places provides renewal, feelings of well-being, and a sense of harmony with the broader community and environment. In Clark County, the presence of protected natural areas within our urban fabric serves to counterbalance the stress and strain of modern life. Parks, trails and open spaces are what we most associate with ‘livability’ in our community.
Parks are needed more than ever for climate resiliency and to counter the urban heat island effect. Let’s talk about what Clark County can do to tackle our parks deficit as we plan for increased population growth in the coming years.
FOCC will have 3 panelists discuss parks in our community:
Glen Yung, Clark County Councilor, District 1
Ross Hoover, Division Manager, Parks and Nature within Public Works for Clark County
David Perlick, Director, Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Department for the City of Vancouver
Register for this remote forum NOW on Eventbrite to secure your spot.
