FROM A FRIEND OF MIKE TOWN: As some folks may know, fellow activist Mike Town is nominated for a KIRO TV Conservation Hero Award for his work on the Wild Sky Wilderness Act. Check out the video that ran on KIRO TV and vote for Mike on KIRO’s web site.If Mike wins, then the $5,000 prize he would receive would go to the Wild Sky Working Group to pay for implementation actions for the Wild Sky Wilderness (i.e., purchasing wilderness trail signs that the Forest Service will not fund, trail signs, road decommissioning elements, etc.)The Wild Sky Wilderness bill was the only wilderness bill in the entire United States that got passed in the 2008 legislative year and it added protections for 106,000 acres of public lands, streams, rivers, and countless species of endangered wildlife and varieties of rare plants.
Mike is passionate about preserving our environment for many reasons, among them the reduction of global warming by preserving our Old Growth forests and the streams that they keep healthy. Mike works with his Redmond High School students in Environmental Studies, continuing to instill the values of good environmental stewardship for future generations.Please vote for Mike Town now and tell your friends, students, teachers, neighbors, fellow workers:
