Reflection/Evaluation
Very Busy. Fighting on many fronts. Very important to keep fingers on the pulse of all pertinent legislative actions…Federal, Oregon regional and AZ regional. PNW Wildlife Google Group is floundering. Perhaps people are too overcommitted. Perhaps the group has not yet found its identity. Perhaps a different facilitator is needed. Several very committed and hard working people in the GOBW LSRD BRAT and in the Indivisibles LSRD Committee. Lots of position statements submitted regarding the LSRD issue.
