Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife: Aquatic Species Restoration Plan
Van Dyke’s salamander (Plethodon vandykei) is a cool-weather-adapted species, making it very vulnerable to climate change.

Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife: Aquatic Species Restoration Plan
Van Dyke’s salamander (Plethodon vandykei) is a cool-weather-adapted species, making it very vulnerable to climate change.
A changing climate is bringing extremes to Washington, and the Chehalis Basin in particular. In the last 50 years, there have been 14 federally-declared disasters. This, combined with human development and land use, have added up to significant habitat loss and degradation over the past several decades.
Salmon and other aquatic species have declined dramatically and face a dire future in the Basin. In response to this, the Aquatic Species Restoration Plan (ASRP) was designed to protect aquatic species and restore their habitats–now and in the face of climate change.
Public comment on the draft plan is open through January 14 (Tuesday).

We have 4 quilters that actually make the quilts. Our machine quilter is Bill Tate from Olympia. He has donated his time and work to our group. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t be able to honor as many veterans as we have so far.
