Greetings,

SAVE THE DATE: YOU ARE INVITED ON WEDNESDAY, NOV. 11

WORKING SNAKE RIVER RECEPTION AND PRESENTATION



You're invited to an informal reception and presentation about restoring a working Snake River for Washington State.

The federal government's mis-management of the Columbia and Snake Rivers and their salmon and steelhead populations has created a regional crisis. Thus far, federal attempts at solutions have proven to be lengthy and expensive failures.

Save Our Wild Salmon is co-hosting an event with other organizations to outline a different path to bring together regional stakeholders - including, for example, farmers, ratepayers, conservationists and fishermen - to collaborate on crafting a science-based plan that restores healthy, fishable populations of wild salmon and steelhead. In addition to recovering salmon, this plan would create opportunities to invest in clean and affordable energy, effective transportation alternatives for farmers, and a thriving outdoor recreational economy for our region.

It is time to come together to restore a Snake River that works for all of Washington State.

Join us November 11 to learn more and find out how you can get involved.
