On May 9th, please join us for a Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) informational meeting for all stakeholders who reside in the Middle Verdigris Watershed.  Just who are the stakeholders?  Well, if you care about the quality of the water you drink and use, then you are a stakeholder.  WRAPS is a planning and management structure that encourages local stakeholders to become involved in their watersheds.  It allows them to identify the needs and problems, establish goals, create a plan and to implement that plan.  Overall, it allows local people to improve the water in their area.   RSVP is required by May 5th, 2008, along with a phone number, so we may notify you if this tour is cancelled for any reason.
