Co-Directors, Steven & Tana at Within Our Reach 2022 in Eugene, OR
I appreciated my time at Nesika Wilamut. I have learned much about the Willamette River and the environment and have cultivated meaningful partnerships and friendships. Tana has been an excellent co-director and has shared her knowledge with me. A new opportunity has presented itself that aligns better with my family and professional development. I wish to continue to be involved with Nesika Wilamut and its work to improve the land on which we live. |
