Lummi Island Watershed Enhancement Committee Update
April, 2008
From Wanda Cucinotta, committee chair
___________________________________________________________________
We have been busy working on our "Lummi Island Ferry Landing Shoreline Enhancement and Nearshore Assessment Project" thanks to the grant we received from NF&WF and WSSRFB-CSF.

This month Chris Fairbanks will be conducting biological assessments and Jim Johannessen will be doing geological assessments and engineering designs for the area around the ferry landing and the shoreline area to the North. Thank you to Jim Johannessen for donating $750 off his fees towards our matching funds.

We have raised around $4,360 of our matching funds or in-kind donations to date. There are many ways our community can help us raise the additional $24,000.00. We are happy to accept monitory donations! Thank you to all that have sent in cash donations for our project. You can also contribute $18 per hour of in-kind dollars when you volunteer for our project. Or if you volunteer your professional services, we can get your going rate. It's a great opportunity to do something positive with each other and for our Island.

Save this date: May 31 at 6:30 PM at the Grange Hall, we will hold a community slide show presentation about our project. Our consultants will share their findings and present shoreline enhancement options for us.

Our next WEC meeting is on April 24 at the LICLT Office, 2129 Tuttle Lane at 7 PM.

Please call or email your address to get WEC updates. Let me know if: you would like more information, have any thoughts or ideas you would like to share, or to be put on our volunteer list. Wanda Cucinotta ,758-2272, forestflor@aol.com or the LICLT office at 758-9925.
