The public is invited to attend the April 23 meeting for a presentation by Joe Kane, Executive Director of the Nisqually Land Trust, the lead nongovernmental conservation organization in the Nisqually River Watershed. The Nisqually Land Trust acquires and manages critical lands to permanently protect the water, wildlife, natural areas and scenic vistas of the Nisqually River watershed. “Small Watershed, Big Ideas: Conservation Innovation in The Nisqually River Valley” will highlight the watershed’s history of cutting-edge conservation and the challenges ahead. The Nisqually River now enjoys an extraordinary level of environmental protection, with 76 percent of its salmon-producing shoreline in permanent conservation status. The Nisqually has set the state’s gold standard for the planned recovery of threatened Chinook salmon and endangered steelhead trout.
Refreshments will be provided and an outstanding fishing equipment raffle will be conducted at the end of his presentation.
