This session will be the capstone event for “Learnings from the Chehalis.” Over the past 15 years, community volunteers, citizens, and government agencies have been putting effort in to making the Chehalis River clean and healthy for people, fish and wildlife. How well have we done? This session will look at progress made on water quality improvement, salmon habitat restoration, water conservation, and the impacts of regulations and policies.
Our capstone talk will be held by a panel from the Chehalis Basin Partnership. The Chehalis Basin Partnership was formed in 1998 to provide a framework for local citizens, interest groups, and government organizations to work collaboratively to identify and solve water-related issues. Come with questions!
Regular meeting of the Chehalis Basin Partnership. See our website for more information. Members of the public are always welcome to join.
A twist on the traditional pumpkin, in this workshop you’ll learn to make unique and adorable pumpkins covered in orange curly silky soft mohair locks, topped with a green stem hat. Something more of a Pumpkin Gnome, or Gnome-o-Lantern? Whatever you call them, they are pure fun!
All the wool you will need is supplied. Bring your favorite felting needles and a felting pad. Other color options will be available.
Our focus is to get the information out there about dealing with behavior, and how to recognize sexual abuse of children. Featured speaker Kathy Slattengren, keynote speaker Amy Lang.
