Time: 6:00 - 8:00 (presentation begins at 6:30)
Place: West Valley Taphouse (957 Main Street, Dallas)

​*RSVP required

Join us at West Valley Taphouse for an inside look at how the Luckiamute Watershed Council’s Monitoring Program guides restoration in our watershed. LWC Monitoring Coordinator Jonah Nicholas will share insights from a decade of stream temperature data, revealing trends in watershed health and how this information shapes restoration decisions. Learn why long-term monitoring matters, how we're expanding the program, and what exciting new tools—like eDNA—mean for the future. Grab a drink, get curious, and see how science drives action in the Luckiamute Watershed!

Join us for this FREE presentation, which will be followed by an interactive Q&A session!
