Take part in water quality survey

To participate in the council’s survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/XNR9S9M. Everyone who completes the survey and enters their email address will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate from Cinnamon Twisp Bakery. The restoration council is an informal body of agencies, tribes, nonprofits and local residents involved in aquatic restoration, land conservation and ecological monitoring in the Methow River watershed.
