At the heart of King County\, the Lake Washington Basin is made up of Lake Washington\, Lake Sammamish\, Cedar River\, and Sammamish River. With Seattle just a few miles away and major population centers lining the lake shores and river fronts\, the basin faces the significant challenges AND opportunities associated with urban growth: a changing ecology\, diversifying population\, commercial and residential development\, increased recreation\, and the amplified effects of climate change. \nSpearheading TU’s restoration and science activities in the basin\, David Kyle is working to improve habitat\, restore connectivity\, and advance research on aquatic weeds\, predators\, and disease. Bringing together non-profit\, city\, county\, federal\, and community partners\, Alix Lee-Tigner is leading TU’s efforts to expand community engagement by stewarding the Lake Sammamish Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership (UWRP). The UWRP’s mission is to work together to connect diverse local communities in the Seattle Metro area to nature and inspire people to care for the lake Sammamish watershed. \nDuring this session\, David and Alix will share about their work building relationships among partners and community members\, highlight on the ground projects\, and how they are moving the dial on neglected and forgotten environmental causes that are critical to salmon recovery in the watershed. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

Climate change\, and the extent to which it is human-caused\, is a divisive issue; the Climate Change Workgroup respects that. Our goal is to develop an education and awareness program based upon the scientific background provided by TU staff and others. With adequate scientific understanding\, we all should be concerned about the impacts to our coldwater fishery resources. How much risk should we accept? Can we afford to risk the future of trout and salmon? \nThis session will feature a panel of experts\, including Helen Neville\, TU’s Senior Scientist; Lindsay Slater\, TU’s VP for Government Affairs; and Drew Eyerly\, Conservative Outreach Director for the Citizens Climate Lobby. \nThis session is open to all event attendees.

The streams and rivers they occupy are important sources of clean water\, recreation\, and provide habitat for myriad animals. To thrive and fully express their life histories\, trout need connected habitats and cold\, clean water. In this workshop we will use Coastal Cutthroat Trout\, a native trout with a geographic range from Northern California to Southeast Alaska\, as a case study to explore these issues and\, when possible\, draw parallels with other Trout and Char subspecies in North America. We will explore the key role partnerships can play in these efforts. \nKitty Griswold is a Fisheries Scientist with a keen interest in conserving Native Trout and their habitats. She grew up in the Great Basin region of the Western United States and was fortunate enough to explore the streams and rivers that shape those arid landscapes. She attended Oregon State University for her MS and PhD degrees and learned about the richness of marine systems through the study of migratory trout and salmon. She is currently allied faculty at Idaho State University in Pocatello\, Idaho in the Biological Sciences Department. Aware of the increasing challenges that cold-water fish populations face\, her current work (and much of her personal time) focuses on creating opportunities for research and partnerships to help us better understand and address these challenges. \nThis session is brought to you by the NLC Native Trout Workgroup.
