Interior Secretary Gale Norton to Honor Nisqually River Council
|
Thursday, August 25, Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, 12:15 p.m. |
The Council is among 30 U.S. partnerships to be highlighted at the upcoming White House Conference on Cooperative Conservation to be held in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 29-31.
The Nisqually River Council is a broadly-based coalition of local governments and citizens committed to the protection and enhancement of the Nisqually River watershed. The council seeks to integrate the history, culture, environment and economy of the watershed in its management. A separate citizen committee assures public representation during implementation of the stewardship plan.
Following is a link to an August 15 Department of the Interior press release describing the announcement and providing details on the White House Conference on Cooperative Conservation.
