Environment Policy Moves
Environment, which encompasses natural features, such as trees, steams, wetlands, and open spaces – all of which foster connection to nature, support local wildlife, and contribute to Bellevue’s identity as a “City in a Park”. Policies in this section will be developed to support the neighborhood’s contributions toward the health of the larger ecosystem as a resource to be enjoyed for future generations.
