VOLUNTEER FOR PRIEST LAKE WATER QUALITY MONITORING

To that end, SCA has formed a Citizens' Volunteer Monitoring Program. This project will compile data useful in protecting Priest Lake's renowned water purity and serve as an early warning tool in identifying hazards before they become insurmountable. The program depends on reliable volunteers to periodically test water quality in Priest Lake.

If you are interested in becoming a part of Citizens' Volunteer Monitoring Program, please contact the SCA office as soon as possible.  The initial training session took place in June but new volunteers are welcome and can be trained as they work. SCA will provide all necessary equipment.

PARTICIPATE IN SCA'S FALL LITTER PICK-UP – SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5

Since 1990 SCA has annually removed trash along two miles of Highway 57 between at milepost 18.5 and milepost 20.5. Our fall litter pick-up is scheduled for the first Sunday in October which this year falls on October 5th.

We will meet at 10:00am. at the north end of High Bridge on Highway 57. Bring gloves, hats, appropriate clothing and footwear for cool weather, and drinking water.  SCA will provide vests and trash bags. Afterwards, we will meet back at the High Bridge parking area for refreshments and good conversation. 

Please join us in cleaning up trash along this area of highway.  If you need more information call the SCA office at 208-265-9670. Leave us a message if we are not in and someone get back to you soon.  Thanks!

CONSIDER MAKING A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION

SCA is as strong as our membership and contributor base. A strong SCA stands strong for conservation and protection of the crucial and sensitive natural resources of the Selkirk Mountains, its watershed, its forests, lakes, streams and rivers. A strong SCA is a strong force to stop unnecessary and wanton destruction of forests, especially old-growth, where it negatively affects caribou and other wildlife and plants. A strong SCA strongly insists on a logical method of managing wolf populations rather than the anti-wolf approach taken by Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Help keep SCA strong with your contributions.
