Job Summary

Attend monthly committee meetings located in Oakville, WA or online, and take meeting minutes. Record meeting and type up detailed minutes afterwards. Approximately 6 hours per month.

Background

Salmon in the Chehalis Basin have a strong cultural and economic significance to the people who reside here. These fish were once abundant, but are now seriously degraded from historic levels. In order to slow and reverse the decline of the salmon populations, the Pacific Salmon Recovery Fund and the Lead Entity process were initiated for Washington State’s rivers. The Chehalis Basin Lead Entity consists of experts from state, local, and tribal governments, as well as the Regional Fisheries Enhancement Group, Conservation Districts, land trusts, and interested local citizens. Our mission is to identify and then collaboratively evaluate voluntary restoration and protection actions that create healthy habitat for salmonids.
