\ud83c\udf3f\ud83c\udf43 Green Drinks Olympia Community Update<\/strong> \ud83c\udf43\ud83c\udf3f<\/p>\n

Hey Olympia friends! Last week’s Green Drinks<\/a> meetup was a blast, full of engaging discussions and inspiring initiatives. Here’s a quick recap of what students and the community learned and some upcoming opportunities:<\/p>\n

The main feature of the night was a presentation from DERT<\/a> by our very own Evergreen MES Grad student Casey Allen and Caroline Slagle. Who did a fantastic job outlining the ongoing success of restoring the Deschutes Estuary from capitol lake, and engaging the group while taking in community input!<\/p>\n
