of you who missed our highly acclaimed Critical Areas workshops given the day
of the 2011 CAPR Banquet back in March, please see the announcement
below. The Whatcom Co. chapter of CAPR is sponsoring a full day version
of hyrogeologist Steve Neugebauer’s wetlands seminar. Steve’s
presentation will give you not only the basic facts you need to know about
wetlands but also arm you with the knowledge as to what wetlands <u>aren’t</u>
! Steve’s handouts alone are worth the drive. Steve’s talks
will be followed by a presentation on land-use issues by attorney Charlie
Klinge from the firm of Groen, Stephens & Klinge. Charlie was
presented the McFarland Award at the 2011 CAPR Banquet in recognition of his
contributions to protecting property rights. We would like to thank both
Steve and Charlie for these pro bono presentations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
