The yearly gathering is an opportunity to hear about upcoming projects, recent successes, and challenges surrounding local land conservation. In addition to providing the community with an organizational update, guests are encouraged to talk with Land Trust staff, Board and committee members; ask questions; share ideas; and provide feedback on the focus and direction of ongoing conservation efforts in Clallam County.

Dedicated to “researching and developing creative win-win solutions to improve both ecologic and community well being especially in rural human-forest ecosystems,” Bormann will share a bit about the innovative research underway in forest management and emerging models in connection with conservation. Guest also are invited to join the Land Trust team in honoring this year’s Gary Colley Legacy Award recipient.
