LOGAN – The League of Women Voters of Cache Valley is pleased to host Dr. Frank Howe at their next meeting at 6 p.m. at April 6.
Howe is a professor of Woodland Resources at Utah State University. Kendra Penry, of the League, says his presentation will focus on the critically important and ongoing efforts to restore the Logan River. His topic will also address how the proposed Watershed Plan could affect the river.
“The League of Women Voters of Cache Valley strives to educate all people in our valley on a diversity of issues and encourages everyone to engage with our government, our environment and each other,” says Penry. “Dr. Howe will take the large issue of water and bring it into a local view from which everyone can learn.
“We hope that all people will feel welcome to attend the meeting on April 6 and join us as we explore another incredible impactful element of our lives here in Cache Valley.”
Penry acknowledges that Howe will build on the “macro” view of environmental issues provided in the league’s March meeting by Dr. Patrick Belmont, a Democratic candidate running against Utah Rep. Dan Johnson (R-Dist. 3).
That meeting was co-sponsored by the Bridgerland Audubon Society, the USU Ecology Center and the Quinney College of Natural Resources.
However, participation in that March meeting is not required to learn from and enjoy the April 6 meeting, Penry emphasizes.
“This meeting is open to all people,” Penry adds, “so we extend the invitation to anyone that values our local water resources.”
The meeting on April 6 will be in the First Presbyterian Church 178 West Center St. and will be also available via Zoom. Check the League of Women Voters — Cache Valley Facebook for the Zoom link.
