Greenways and Blueways in Canada, the USA and Mexico

Bob Phillips is the Executive Director of the Greenway and Blueway Foundation, a non-governmental agency that has been involved in the development of Greenways and Blueways in Canada, and has received funding from the Government of BC. When he has a few extra minutes he provides free consulting to locally based community greenway projects. One of his long term goals is to continue to provide long term advise to similar organizations, and he has a special interest in promoting Blueways along the Pacific Coast from Canada down to Mexico.


One of the more interesting new organizations is Community Greens. Prior to directing Community Greens, Kate Herrod was the Deputy Director of Development for The Nature Conservancy and Vice President of commercial real estate at Citibank, Chemical Bank, and Security Pacific Bank. She now spends her time looking for partners in various cities to champion the creation of community greens. Take a look at her thoughts:
