Dear members and supporters,

During these trying times we are continuing to avoid holding public meetings and following all state and county level guidance. However, we miss having the opportunity to engage with you, the local community, and provide a venue for watershed news and science. We have decided to try our hand at going virtual. We will again be convening monthly meetings, generally the first Thursday of the month, during which we will feature an informational presentation, question and answer session, and hold a short board meeting to ensure our Board of Directors is up to speed on all our work.

Our first virtual community meeting will be on December 3rd, from 6:30-7:30 pm with a presentation by our Council Coordinator on the recently completed Big Creek Floodplain Restoration project. A short meeting of the Board of Directors will follow the presentation.

The meeting will be hosted virtually via the online GoToMeeting platform. You do not have to download anything in advance to join the meeting. We plan to have a brief test meeting so that folks interested in joining the meeting can have a chance to make sure they are able to connect and troubleshoot any problems that might arise. Please contact Restoration Specialist Trevor Griffiths (trevor@midcoastwc.org or 541-265-9195) by the end of the day on Friday, November 20th if you would like to take part in the test meeting. The test meeting will be scheduled after that time.

We are also starting to schedule (and reschedule) presentations for future virtual meetings and will share that list with you in the near future. For now, please take a look at the attached images as a teaser for the upcoming presentation.

The link for the meeting will be provided in a subsequent, reminder email closer to the date of the meeting.

Thank you and we look forward to (re)connecting with you.

Sincerely,

MidCoast Watersheds Council Staff and Board
