Do Your Part
We are counting on you…
We learn news of our changing climate and assaults on our environment through oil spills and other disasters every day. For all of us who care about the future sustainability of our natural world, finding ways to preserve and protect it is a foremost calling. KLWA offers you a local and personal way to participate.
There are many ways for you to get involved with the KLWA, from an individual Membership to leading a committee or a project initiative. Throughout the season, special events offer opportunities to meet others who share a strong interest in protecting and enhancing the quality of the watershed. Get started by finding something that particularly interests you — and above all, get involved!
