Feb20ONP Wilderness Stewardship Plan Public Workshop @ Department of Natural Resources Conference RoomWednesday: 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Olympic National Park Launches Planning Process for Existing Park Wilderness;
Public Input Invited, Eight Public Workshops Scheduled
Olympic National Park invites the public to participate in developing a Wilderness Stewardship Plan to help protect and manage the designated wilderness lands within the park.
“The Olympic Wilderness was designated by Congress in 1988 and has become one of the most popular wilderness destinations in the country,” said Olympic National Park Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum. “We are excited to be moving ahead with a comprehensive plan for how we protect and manage this area and are looking forward to hearing thoughts and ideas from our public.”
The plan will be developed in accordance with the Wilderness Act of 1964 and analyzed through an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. In the coming weeks, a Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS will be published in the Federal Register. The public comment period begins today and will continue for 60 days after the Federal Register notice is published.
“One of the first steps in any planning process is to learn what the public’s thoughts, questions and concerns are,” said Creachbaum. “We welcome online and written comments and have also scheduled eight public workshops for people to share their thoughts and learn more about the plan.”
More information about the Olympic Wilderness Stewardship Plan and planning process, including a public scoping newsletter, is available online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/olymwild. Comments may also be submitted at that website.
Public workshops will be offered around the Olympic Peninsula and are scheduled as follows.

Apr6Clallam County Genealogical Society Grand Opening @ Clallam County Genealogical SocietySaturday: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The Clallam County Genealogical Society (CCGS) has recently purchased a building at 402 E. Lauridsen Blvd. in Port Angeles 98362-7952. The larger facility was needed to house an expanding collection of family history resources from the County and around the world. The larger center will also ensure the continuation of CCGS’s mission to serve the community as a Genealogical Research and Educational Center. Although we are presently in the process of renovation and moving our collection of books and records, the facility will be open for public use by February first.
We are looking forward to greeting young and old at our Grand Opening on April 6th from 1 – 4 P.M. The ribbon cutting ceremony will feature a wine, punch, and cheese open house, and the delightful Port Angeles High School string Quartet.
Clallam County Genealogical Society would like to acknowledge the early settlers of our County and their many contributions to the community by displaying photos of those who played a part in its early history. We are asking for photographs of family members to be copied and put on display. Digital or scanned copies of good quality are acceptable, and could be emailed to us. If it is more convenient, we can come to you and make a digital copy from photo albums. Please contact us if you would like to contribute photos.
