Wildlife Corridors
Examples of this pattern in action:
Mattole Valley wildlife "mosaic"
For watershed organizing and restoration, the Mattole Restoration Council of Northern California stands out as a pioneering model. In this classic article of bioregional literature, Freeman House, one of the initiators of the Mattole effort, details the Council's history and broader lessons drawn from that experience. This article appeared in Whole Earth Review, Spring 1990.
I-90 Ocean to Mountain Corridor
The Greenway Education Program focuses on the challenge of sustaining a healthy, natural environment in balance with the needs of a growing population. A key element of the Greenway plan is preserving forests along the Interstate 90 corridor in Washington State.
Victoria's Sea-to-Sea Green/Blue Belt Alliance
A greenbelt of wilderness and parkland from Goldstream Park to the Sooke Basin. One of the links is a small property between Ayum Creek and the Galloping Goose trail. Sea-to-Sea Green/Blue Belt Alliance (a new coalition of seven local conservation organizations).
