Ridgefield NWR is having a second public meeting (Sep
14, 2006 was the first) Wednsday evening September 20,
2006 from 6-9pm at the:

Vancouver Community Library
1007 East Mill Plain Boulevard
Vancouver, Washington 98663.

Ridgefield will begin charging Fees on October 16,
2006.
Daily Visit = $3 per Private Vehicle
Ridgefield Annual Pass (valid one year after date of
issue) = $15
?A Ridgefield NWR specific pass will be sold at the
headquarters for $15.00, which will be valid for one
year from the date of issue.?

I think the HQ is at:
301 North 3rd Avenue?
Ridgefield, Washington 98642
Telephone: (360) 887-4106

I do not know hours for sale of passes, nor do I know
if they may be purchased elsewhere.

They are about to embark on a long-range (15 years)
plan they are calling ?Comprehensive Conservation
Plan.? There should be information given and
opportunity for questions and suggestions. They are
also requesting input from the public.

More information can be found at:

I think it would be nice if some folks who enjoy
Ridgefield for its beauty, hiking, birds, mammals etc.
were there to listen and ask questions.

While I really do not know what to expect from this
public meeting, I plan on attending.
