Everyone is invited to join us at the Walla Walla Community College’s Water and Environmental Center for this free event!

Our annual meeting begins at 7pm with a Year-in-review slideshow, highlighting this year’s accomplishments.

Then Steve Kahl from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will give a presentation about a restoration project on the lower Walla Walla River. In partnership with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the project will be one of the largest floodplain restoration projects in the northwest, treating six miles of river and 1,200 acres of floodplain.
