Subject: [Tweeters] Birding--Not Surfing--Crockett Lake

Hi Tweets,

After watching the kite surfers on Whidbey Island's Crockett Lake
several weeks ago, and the consequent disturbance of waterfowl, I got
in touch with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, which I knew had been
involved in protecting Crockett Lake as a natural area. I just heard
back this afternoon from the Land Trust office. The upshot is that
the west part of the lake is under the jurisdiction of Washington
State Parks and Seattle Pacific University. Washington State Parks
has designated the lake as a natural area in its comprehensive plan.
Neither entity condones that kind of recreational activity on the
lake. If you see kite surfing or any other recreational activity
that disturbs wildlife on Crockett Lake, you can either look for the
ranger at Fort Casey to report it or make a report to the State Parks
NW Region Office on the following business day:

Washington State Parks

Northwest Region Office
220 N. Walnut St.
Burlington, WA 98233
(360) 755-9231
Business hours: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday


Thanks.

Carol Riddell
