Greetings! 

I hope you have taken some time to get outdoors and enjoy our gorgeous NCW springtime. There are plenty of outings to help you get outside, explore some place new—or an old favorite—learn something new and meet some new folks!

Read on for opportunities to help control noxious weeds on our preserves AND some great news about a newly protected property in the Wenatchee Foothills!

Your support means so much—thank you!
