Selkirk Conservation Alliance: Regional threats to water quality and SCA’s work to protect it.
The Selkirk Conservation Alliance works to engage the public in southern Selkirk resource and land management issues through science, education, and economic diversity. In this presentation Amy Anderson will cover the basic threats to regional surface and groundwater quality in the Priest Lake basin. She will discuss point and non-point source pollution and current water quality issues, like invasive species and fish die offs, in Priest Lake and regional tributary streams. The presentation will also cover SCA’s pillar programs: Education, Scientific Research and Advocacy!
