Short Description of Activity

Westwind August gathering of PNW Great Old Broads for Wilderness
Structured sessions on Forests, Climate, Water, River Ecology and Restoration, Grazing, Membership, Stewardship and other Broad Band activities. Speakers from TNC on Cascade Head land protection and fish biologist on Salmon River dike removal & estuary restoration; stewardship work: Eng. Ivy removal, grounds trash removal. Fun: lots of beach walking, several organized hikes on the Westwind property’s trails, kayak & canoeing on Salmon River, music & sing-along with Chip’s guitar happened one evening.

Reflection/Evaluation

Chip & I went in order to learn – and we did learn a lot: how Broad Bands in OR operate, how they communicate with their members (LOTS of Google Group usage), how they retain & expand their membership, and making a difference! All the leaders were very helpful in answering my questions and offering assistance as we grow the Rogue Valley Band. I camas away with good ideas!
