Thank you - Volunteers! Our effort to restore a large ford crossing will reduce sediment runoff into the creek which is home to endangered Westslope Cutthroat Trout. Volunteers enjoying a lunch break Read more about the Dutch Creek Restoration Event from one of the volunteers and OWC's Communication Intern Riley Sawyer. Riley Sawyer OWC Lunch and Learn We had our first Lunch and Learn on September 30 to share updates on our Engaging Recreationists and Film Projects and we had many great discussions and networking ice breakers. About 40 people joined us to hear the results from our research over the summer interviewing and surveying off highway vehicle (OHV) recreationists and William Singer III giving update on the backcountry campers, as filming on the Blood Reserve well as reviewing existing information. Our key learning is that there are 2 distinct types of OHV users who are looking for different experiences and therefore have different needs. We now have a much better understanding of Discussion on the the user perspective and will use this research to guide Engaging Recreationists Project the design of our programs for next summer.
