Nisqually Aquatic Reserve



Hello Anderson CSC members,
I am sitting here staffing the center watching the rain and all the suddenly it dawns on me that there is a citizen stewardship meeting on Anderson Island today.   As the volunteer for the center could not make it in I am staffing and will not be able to make it to the Island.  I called Ann and Sara and do not feel so bad as I was not the only one who forgot the meeting.   There are several things I would like to bring to your attention in the absents of a meeting this month.

1.  We are planning a CSC volunteer appreciation event that well be held in Steilacoom at the community center.  How does October 26 or 27th work for folks  This will be a catered event where we can share with you what we have accomplished so far and were we want to go in the future.    We really want to bring both committees together for this event that is why we are hosting the event in Steilacoom.      Will get date this week.
 2. Nisqually Reach Aquatic Reserve Action Training 1   We will do a training on Anderson Island as well but wanted to let folks know about the mainland event if they wanted to attend.

Learn to make your voice heard to protect Puget Sound!
You live near an unbelievably important part of Puget Sound, the Nisqually Reach Aquatic Reserve. This Reserve is home to an incredible amount of wildlife, guarantees public access to the water, and needs you to use your voice to protect it!
Join WEC and Nisqually Reach Nature Center for an evening of learning to get you up to speed about how your voice as a citizen can be used to ensure the protection of some of our most special places in Puget Sound.
Questions the training will answer:
·         What is an Aquatic Reserve?
·         What makes Nisqually Reach Aquatic Reserve worth protecting?
·         What regulatory decisions impact the Nisqually Reach Aquatic Reserve?
·         How can I engage in the public process around these regulations to protect the Nisqually Reach Aquatic Reserve?
Knowledge every participant will walk away with:
·         How to use your voice to stand up for your environment and protect Puget Sound.
·         An understanding of the suite of regulatory decisions and processes that impact Puget Sound.
The training will be held on the evening of October 8th from 6:00pm until 8:30pm at the Lacey Community Center, 6729 Pacific Ave SE, Olympia, WA 98503.
