Environmental Lobby Day

What is Environmental Lobby Day?

Each year the Washington State Legislature is in session, Eastside Audubon members travel to Olympia in February for a day. We learn about issues, talk to the senators and representatives in our districts, mix with other environmentally-aware people and enjoy good food and stimulating conversation.

to learn how you can be part of this fun and important event.
