"Over the last several weeks, Department of the Interior leaders have begun a series of conversations with Governors and key stakeholders in all states about President Obama’s America’s Great Outdoors (AGO) Initiative. Our goal is to explore how Interior can work with states to develop and plan for a shared conservation agenda.
"As part of this, we are also seeking ideas and recommendations from key stakeholders and groups such as yours on specific projects that would advance the goals of AGO. These goals include 1) establishing and enhancing great urban parks and community green spaces, 2) restoring and increasing access to rivers and other water bodies, 3) conserving large rural landscapes, 4) increasing protection of and improving access to federal lands, and 5) expanding youth employment opportunities related to AGO.
"We would like to invite you to join Secretary Ken Salazar in a meeting on Wednesday, April 27, 2011, from
"1:00pm-2:00 pm at the Majestic Inn on 419 Commercial Ave. Anacortes, WA. If you are interested in attending please RSVP to: doi_events@ios.doi.gov for our planning purposes.
