The Conservation Committee (CC) is continuing to ramp up our activities. In September, we discussed the Marymoor work parties, the Willowmoor bird surveys, Save Coal Creek, Recreate Responsibly, and the impact of Amazon drones.
A Note from Your Conservation Chair
Since 2007, June has been celebrated as the month of the Orca in Washington State. Governor Christine Gregoire first designated June as Orca Awareness Month. In 2019, the month was renamed Orca Action Month. We knew then that the population of salmon-eating orcas in Washington State waters, known as Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW) needed help to survive as a distinct population.
