Kit McGurn from Conservation Northwest will be doing a presentation entitled "Columbia Highlands: Washington's Last Wilderness Frontier" on Wednesday, January 26th at 7:00 pm at the  Cowlitz PUD Auditorium Longview.

The Northeastern Washington area serves as a habitat bridge between the Cascades and the Rocky Mountains.  It contains a healthy population of wildlife and pristine forests.  Grizzly and black bears, wolves, caribou, lynx, moose, deer and elk still thrive here.  Kit will be talking about this unique area and efforts to preserve it as a wilderness.

This free event is sponsored by the Willapa Hills Audubon Society and open to the public.
