History
In April 2012, the Oakland County Natural Areas Advisory Group merged with the Oakland County Trails Advisory Council to form the Trails, Water & Lands Alliance (TWLA). Moving forward, TWLA will continue the work of creating enhanced quality of life opportunities and make for a much stronger, unified voice.
Purpose
To become an informed, coordinated, collaborative body that supports initiatives related to Oakland County's Green Infrastructure Network.
Goals and Objectives
- Share information and coordinate efforts at quarterly TWLA meetings
- Pursue the establishment of partnerships in both the public and private sectors
- Promote TWLA through the Oak Routes Map, Fall Celebration, Green Infrastructure Vision, and other events and marketing materials
- Provide support to TWLA partner organizations for grants and other funding opportunities
