#RecreateResponsibly to Protect Yourself, Others, and the Outdoors

During this public health crisis, spending time in outdoor spaces has become even more important for many Americans. Yet these unusual circumstances mean that all of us, from seasoned outdoor enthusiasts to families heading out to their local park for the first time, could use a little guidance about how to stay safe. The Recreate Responsibly guidelines offer a starting point for getting outside to keep yourself healthy and to maintain access to our parks, trails, and beaches. [ LEARN MORE ]

Big Tent Meeting Reminder

Monday, June 8, 2015 at the Nature Conservancy

Here are the meeting details as well:

10am-1pm (Membership meeting from 10-11:30am; Board meeting from 11:45am-1pm)
The Nature Conservancy
1917 1st Ave, Seattle

Conference Call Option: 1 (605) 475-5950, passcode 3115724#

Due to the rescheduling of this meeting from May to June, you'll notice we updated the agenda to accommodate board election procedures.  We received several requests about filling our Board vacancy, and have decided to avoid the formal challenge procedures by expanding the Board to 15 members, which is allowed in our bylaws. We are gathering resumes and letters of intent from 5 candidates right now so that the Board can review and consider confirming them at Monday's meeting. We will also be voting to appoint one exofficio position so that Bruce Botka can remain on the board as a non-voting member.
