Northwest PARC Home

2009 Annual Meeting - Meeting Agenda - Accommodation Info

Our mission is to conserve amphibians, reptiles and their habitats as integral parts of our ecosystem and culture through proactive and coordinated public/private partnerships.

We have an informal "membership" that includes anyone interested in herpetological conservation. Persons that have expressed an interest in NW PARC and its activities include biologists and nature enthusiasts that are working in some area of biology or natural resources, or who are interested in these animals or natural resource management. NW PARC participants include persons from state and federal agencies, academic institutions (staff and students), non-government organizations, environmental consultants, environmental activist groups, tribes, and private citizens. Participation is very broad and may include attending annual meetings, finding out what we are doing to cross-coordinate activities with other existing or developing efforts, helping to communicate our mission and activities to others, serving on task teams, and helping to brainstorm for topics of focus. We are developing an email list in order to send out occasional notices, and we have a newsletter envisioned.
