Coalition Wins National Conservation Award!

The NW Storm Recovery Coalition has won the 2008 Cooperative Conservation Award (CCA)
from the Department of the Interior. The CCA, the Interior Department's highest award, is presented to private citizens and organizational partners who support the agency's mission and demonstrate significant contributions to its programs. On April 21st, Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne will officially present the award to the coalition partners in Washington D.C.

The coalition is honored to receive this recognition, yet the award truly belongs to everyone who volunteered in the recovery effort.

The coalition's work received additional coverage this past week, when NPCA's Sean Smith appeared on KTPK's community matter's program. A link to the March 9th interview can be found here. Look for it on the left side of the webpage.

Finally, be sure to join us March 17th at the Seattle REI to learn how to help in the recovery. Click here for more information.
