LEGISLATIVE DAY 2022
January 20, 2022
Join the Washington Wildlife & Recreation Coalition and the Washington Recreation & Park Association on January 20, 2022 at our annual Parks and Great Outdoors Legislative Day.
Help us advocate for our state’s premier outdoors fund, the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP), and tell your legislators why Washington’s parks, wildlife habitat areas, and working lands deserve to be funded.
Never met with a legislator before? Don’t worry; we will make sure you have everything you need, including pre-event training. And we’ll even schedule your meetings for you!
This event will be held virtually.
