Open Space Habitat and Recreation Plan

The City of Tacoma, the Green Tacoma Partnership and the Metropolitan Park District worked together to develop the Open Space Habitat and Recreation Plan—a plan and action program for open space acquisition, management and restoration. The OSHRP provides an integrated vision for Tacoma's habitat and recreation lands and facilities.  Thank you to everyone who worked to help the plan along during the long process.  We're very excited about this policy and the future of open space habitat in our city!

2nd Annual Green Tacoma Day

We had a great turnout for our 2nd annual Green Tacoma Day. More than 350 people and 18 different organizations were involved in activities at 13 sites throughout Tacoma. Volunteers helped conduct restoration or learned something new about Tacoma’s natural areas & how we can care for these beautiful places.

1st Annual Green Tacoma Day at Julia's Gulch

Saturday, November 15, 2008

Over 120 volunteers, restoration crew members, and City officials gathered at the GTP's newest site this Saturday for the first ever Green Tacoma Day.  From pulling ivy to planting native plants, we learned about all phases of resoration at different locations within the gulch, which was looking beautiful with the sun shining on it.
