Community Visioning Workshops
EFFRA is leading a grass-roots effort to articulate a community vision for management of a 10,000 acre region in southeast King County called the Enumclaw Forested Foothills Recreation Area. This region encompasses the land area from Green River Falls south to Buckley and from Mud River Dam west pas the City of Enumclaw. Public input is essential to this process and Effra is sponsoring two workshops in November to get your input on the following subjects:
» Recreation/Public Access
» Natural Resources/Habitat
» Scenic Preservation/Cultural Landscapes
» Economic & Industrial Activity
» Planned Growth & Development/Livability.
Information gathered at the workshops will be used to prepare and publish a Comprehensive Management Vision for the region. This document will be distributed to local government agencies and other land managers to express our collective vision for how we want the region in which we all live, work, and play to be managed, developed and conserved.
