It’s a chance for everyone, even new advocates, to talk with legislators about the importance of the outdoors. We’re asking for $150 million for the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) to protect working lands, wildlife habitat, and create more outdoor recreation opportunities. This would provide funding for 115+ projects in the State -- amongst those, 34 local parks, 8 trails, and 5 water access projects.

You have experienced renovated trails, bathrooms, campgrounds, roads, and other services made possible by federal funding. This September, the US Forest Service announced that due to a budget crisis, <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndh LnVzfDc2MTY5NjB8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnMudXNkYS5nb3YvaW5zaWRlLWZzL2RlbGl2ZXJpbmctbWlzc2lvbi9leGNlbC9zZXB0ZW1iZXItMjAyNC1jaGllZnMtYWxsLWVtcGxveWVlLWNhbGwtaGlyaW5nLXVwZGF0ZXwwfDB8MHwxMTYxfDB8MHx8ODIwNjA5fDE 1> they will not hire seasonal or temporary workers except those who respond to forest fires in 2025. This will result in cutting more than 2,400 seasonal jobs, including trail crews, wilderness rangers, and other temporary staff, reducing their ability to maintain trails, clean trailhead restrooms, collect trash, and provide other essential services. The Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) is set to run out of funding at the end of 2025. Since its implementation, the Forest Service has received $75 million for 33 projects across our state. GAOA also secures $900 million annually for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY 28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5NjF8aHR0cHM6Ly9sd2NmY29hbGl0aW9uLm9yZy98MHwwfDB8MTE2MXwwfDB8fDgyMDYwOXwx0> , the nation’s premier grant program to protect our parks, trails, wildlife habitat, and working lands across the country.

This event included many partners, including the Snoqualmie Tribe, the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, the Department of Natural Resources, and Washington Trails Association. Thanks to those who came out to join us, despite the rainy weather! Despite the number of partners listed, this still doesn’t capture everyone who has put in work and effort into all the projects that have been done in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley. Over 90% of the Middle Fork is protected public lands—a remarkable achievement!

But, by her own admission, she overlooked opportunities to learn about her heritage as a Japanese American to focus on being on the water. So when motherhood sparked a curiosity to learn more about herself and her family, she sought out a distant relative in Seattle with a shared love of fishing. As she peels back the layers of her own identity, she learns about Tengu Club, the oldest salmon fishing club in the United States. By exploring the club’s creation and its enduring legacy, Hilary confronts pieces of unexposed history, revealing the aftermath of WWII and the internment camps for thousands of Japanese American families.   Featured Stories Upcoming Events 2024 Bullitt Prize Winners Weave Culture and Conservation Together for Environmental Justice <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28u amVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5Njh8aHR0cHM6Ly93YWNvbnNlcnZhdGlvbmFjdGlvbi5vcmcvYW5ub3VuY2luZy0yMDI0LWJ1bGxpdHQtcHJpemUtd2lubmVycy98MHwwfDB8MTE2MXwwfDB8fDgyMDYwOXwx0> Washington Conservation Action Unleashing the brilliance of youth outdoor learning <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5Njl8aHR0cHM6L y93d3cud2lsZGVybmVzcy5vcmcvYXJ0aWNsZXMvYmxvZy91bmxlYXNoaW5nLWJyaWxsaWFuY2UteW91dGgtb3V0ZG9vci1sZWFybmluZ3wwfDB8MHwxMTYxfDB8MHx8ODIwNjA5fDE1> The Wilderness Society Skiing Isn’t About ‘Conquering’ the Mountains—It’s Time to Change the Language <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLn dhLnVzfDc2MTY5NzB8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2tpbWFnLmNvbS9lZGl0b3JzLWNob2ljZS9za2lpbmctY2hhbmdlLWxhbmd1YWdlLWN1bHR1cmUvfDB8MHwwfDExNjF8MHwwfHw4MjA2MDl8MQ2> SKI Here’s when Mount Rainier National Park will be open this winter <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5 NzF8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2VhdHRsZXRpbWVzLmNvbS9saWZlL291dGRvb3JzL2hlcmVzLXdoZW4tbW91bnQtcmFpbmllci1uYXRpb25hbC1wYXJrLXdpbGwtYmUtb3Blbi10aGlzLXdpbnRlci8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1tYXJrZXRpbmdjbG91ZCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWV tYWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1Nb3JuaW5nK0JyaWVmKzExLTEtMjRfMTFfMV8yMDI0JnV0bV90ZXJtPUZvcm1lciUyMFN1YnNjcmliZXJ8MHwwfDB8MTE2MXwwfDB8fDgyMDYwOXwx0> The Seattle Times Discovery Pass Free Days <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5NzJ8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGlzY292ZXJwYXNzLndh Lmdvdi8xMzYvRGlzY292ZXItUGFzcy1GcmVlLURheXN8MHwwfDB8MTE2MXwwfDB8fDgyMDYwOXwx0> (WA State Parks; DNR, WDFW Nov 29 US Forest Service Pass Fee-Free Days 2025 <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5NzN8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZnM udXNkYS5nb3YvdmlzaXQvcGFzc2VzLXBlcm1pdHN8MHwwfDB8MTE2MXwwfDB8fDgyMDYwOXwx0> Jan 20; June14,19; Sept 27; Nov 11 Free National Park Entrance Days 2025 <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5NzR8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnBzLmd vdi9wbGFueW91cnZpc2l0L2ZlZS1mcmVlLXBhcmtzLmh0bXwwfDB8MHwxMTYxfDB8MHx8ODIwNjA5fDE1> Jan 20; April 16; June 19; Aug 4; Sept 27; Nov 11 C <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5NzV8aHR0cHM6Ly9kaXNjb3ZlcnBhc3Mud2EuZ292LzE0OC9DaGVjay1PdXQtV2F zaGluZ3RvbnwwfDB8MHwxMTYxfDB8MHx8ODIwNjA5fDE1> heck Out Washington <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MT Y5NzZ8aHR0cHM6Ly9kaXNjb3ZlcnBhc3Mud2EuZ292LzE0OC9DaGVjay1PdXQtV2FzaGluZ3RvbnwwfDB8MHwxMTYxfDB8MHx8ODIwNjA5fDE1> <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg 5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5Nzd8aHR0cHM6Ly9kaXNjb3ZlcnBhc3Mud2EuZ292LzE0OC9DaGVjay1PdXQtV2FzaGluZ3RvbnwwfDB8MHwxMTYxfDB8MHx8ODIwNjA5fDE1> (Free Discover Pass) <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJvY2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5Nzh8aHR0cHM6Ly93ZWIuY2hhcml0eWVuZ2luZS5uZXQvRW5ld3MlMjBEb25hdGlvb nwwfDB8MHwxMTYxfDB8MHx8ODIwNjA5fDE1> Support our work here! <https://app-rsrc.getbee.io/public/resources/social-networks-icon-sets/circle-color/facebook.png> <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODI1NjU0fDc5MzUzNjg5fDF8amVmZmJv Y2NAY28uamVmZmVyc29uLndhLnVzfDc2MTY5Nzl8aHR0cHM6Ly9pbnN0YWdyYW0uY29tL3dpbGRsaWZlcmVjfDB8MHwwfDExNjF8MHwwfHw4MjA2MDl8MQ2> Copyright © 2024, Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition, All rights reserved.
