Upcoming opportunities for you to speak up and get involved

Update, July 2008: There are a couple of major efforts going on this summer that are important for Puget Sound. These are things that will affect current and future residents in our great state. Please contact us with any questions or to learn more.

- The state's Puget Sound Partnership is currently developing its Action Agenda for Puget Sound (see the old listing below), which it will unveil for public comment in early Fall 2008. Want an easy way to get involved and make a statrement? Become a postcard captain.

Puget Sound Partnership Public Workshops and Community Conversations
February 27 - March 7, 2008

The Puget Sound Partnership was established by the Governor and Legislature to work with communities and stakeholders and develop a plan for restoring and protecting Puget Sound. A broad coalition of conservation and environmental stakeholders has come together to try and influence this process - so that the resulting plan (an "Action Agenda" due by September 2008) will be the strongest it can be. The Nature Conservancy is participating in and supporting this important process in several ways.

The Partnership has scheduled its first round of workshops and public conversations. Meetings will take place all over the Puget Sound area from February 26 through March 7. Your voice now could help ensure that the "Action Agenda" ultimately includes serious, meaningful protections for our native species.

Read a helpful fact sheet from our friends at People for Puget Sound about these meetings and why you should participate. This sheet has meeting details and more background about why this opportunity is not to be missed.

You can also visit the web site of the Puget Sound Partnership to learn more and find a schedule of their "local action area meetings."
