Thank You and Looking Ahead to Next Year

Even though the summer isn't over yet, the NW storm recovery coalition and federal agencies such as the National Park Service are already looking toward next year and the flood restoration work that remains to be done. It's almost hard to believe its been almost a year since we all were all stunned to learn of the devastation from last fall's storms. Since then the public has turned out by the thousands to repair miles of trail have been repaired, restore countless bridges and clean up campgrounds and picnic areas. Yet, there will be much left to do next year.

To everyone who volunteered this summer, please consider joining us at Mount Rainier on September 29th for National Public Lands Day for a day of work and celebration. Anyone who swung an axe, wrote a check or contacted elected officials in support of flood recovery is invited. Hope to see you there.
