Come one come all! Our annual meeting for 2016 will feature a talk by Mark Grandstaff, Assistant Habitat Program Manager with the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. He will give an overview of the Floodplain Management Plan for the Tucannon RIver in the W.T. Wooten Wildlife Area east of Dayton and discuss Phases 1 and 2 of the Rainbow Lake reconstruction project.

The meeting will be held at the Courtyard by Marriot at 550 W. Rose St. in Walla Walla (note new location this year). It is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served.

We recently posted a wealth of new information on our ongoing “Bridge to Bridge” project to restore the lower Walla Walla River in the “Current Projects” section of website, including lots of photos and an update on where things currently stand. Check it out!
