Short Description of Activity
Multiple activities: Met with Chris Herrman (WCCF) primarily discussion ways to involve children in nature activities, Met with Ian Roche (CoCo) to discuss projects our groups were working on and ways we might work together. Met with David Varner (CWLT) to talk about ways we could support reseeding efforts at Lunch Loop area. Attended opening for new trail at Lunch Loop to support our efforts there, BLM efforts , and Roundtable collaboration evidenced by Jeff Bates Art work there.
Reflection/Evaluation
WCCF could be a potential source of funding if we needed any and Chris is a joy to talk with. Lunch Loop efforts just raise our name recognition the community and our advocacy for healthy public lands and wildlife. There is not much crossover between our work and CoCo’s current projects.
