Annual Meeting December 6th
You’re invited to join us on Wednesday, December 6th for our Annual Meeting!
This free event begins at 7pm with a look back at our 2023 accomplishments.
Then, in our featured presentation, Jesse Schultz from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will help us understand the threat that aquatic invasive species pose to our native species and their habitats, and to our infrastructure.
This is a hybrid format meeting, so you can join us at the Water and Environmental Center, or via Zoom (link in the flyer below).
Work Completed on Two Mill Creek Passage Projects!
We recently wrapped up work on two projects that improved fish passage in the concrete flood control channel.
The Spokane to Park project treated 1,344 feet of the channel, connecting projects that were completed in 2013 and 2019.
The Roosevelt St project completed the last 900 feet between last year’s work and the upstream end of the concrete channel.
Only two sections remain to be treated: 6th Ave to 3rd Ave, and 3rd Ave to Colville St (the underground section).
