Yakima Bull Trout Working Group
On March 8th, 2018 the Washington Department of Ecology, Yakima Basin Fish and Wildlife Recovery Board, and Yakama Nation Fisheries co-sponsored the 2nd annual Eastern Washington Riparian Planting Symposium. The symposium was attended by 150 people from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Topics focused on riparian planting issues specific to Eastern Washington.
