I am nominating this for featured article because I believe it finally meets all the criteria. This urban park is large, heavily forested, and heavily used. I thought the article was nearly comprehensive months ago, but User:llywrch, who did a peer review, made many helpful suggestions about traffic, crime, and other park problems that I had completely overlooked. In addition, User:EncMstr provided photos of trails, trees, and trail workers that significantly improved the article. Finetooth (talk) 00:20, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
“ | Metro, a regional governmental agency for the Oregon portion of the Portland metropolitan area, began exploring a Natural Areas Program in 1991, to purchase and protect natural areas.[1] In 1995 the program targeted 320 acres within and adjacent to the park for acquisition, for the purpose of protecting habitat, increasing recreational access, and other goals. A 2006 bond measure allowed for the purchase of more land; to date, more than 865 acres have been added to the park through the Natural Areas Program.[2] | ” |
