You’re invited! Walla Walla River Basin Community Tour
In the Walla Walla River Basin, there is not always enough water available to meet the needs of our local communities, Tribes, farms, and aquatic ecosystems. The Walla Walla 2050 Watershed Strategy is a collaborative effort to meet the Basin’s growing water needs and provide water for healthy rivers, fish, farms, and people.
You’re invited to the Walla Walla Watershed Strategy Community Tour! Join us to explore the Basin, learn about the water challenges we face, and see in-person what we’re doing to address these challenges. At each stop, we’ll be joined by local experts who will explain the stop’s importance and answer your questions. The event is completely free, and we will provide both lunch and transportation to each stop. This tour is best suited for teens and adults; we don’t recommend bringing young children. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
