SUMMARY:Monthly Lunch & Learn Series  - Celebrating Work Around the State!
DESCRIPTION:In the spirit of the holiday season\, we wanted to take some time at this month’s webinar to celebrate and give thanks for all the great work going on around the state. We’ll be joined by 8  implementation partners who will each take 5 – 7 minutes to showcase the work that they and partners accomplished during this last year\, featuring accomplishments from acquisitions to construction. Following the quick presentations we’ll open it up for discussion and anyone else that would like to share about good work happening in other communities around the state. Join us to hear from: \n\n\nRandy Johnson\, Habitat Program Manager for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe\, will present on the Rivers Edge levee setback and floodplain restoration project. 4\,000’ of federal levee was setback along the lower Dungeness River to reconnect the floodplain with new off-channel habitat while providing flood protection to the town of Dungeness.\nMike Auger\, Conservation Director for the North Olympic Land Trust\, will speak on recent agricultural conservation easements closed in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley as part of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s FbD project.\nTroy Havens\, Water Resources Division Manager for Yakima County\, will speak on the Nelson Dam replacement project on the Naches River. Nelson Dam was removed and replaced with a new diversion structure that allows for year-round fish passage \, decreases flood risk for nearby landowners and improves water supply opportunities for the community.\nAdam Cares\, Natural Resource Planner for Stevens County\, will speak on the Colville River Floodplain Restoration Pilot Project and efforts to identify additional projects on an adjacent reach of the Colville River.\nJessica Hamill and Darcey Hughes\, Snohomish County\, Jessica worked for Ecology in the early days of FbD and worked with folks to help build the grant program. Jessica is a Project Specialist IV with Snohomish County and manages the Community Floodplains Solutions (CFS) program which is working collaboratively to implement Farm-Fish-Flood benefits in the Snohomish basin. Darcey is Surface Water Management’s Funding Coordinator and works with Jessica (and others) to ensure the CFS actions are fully funded across different funding sources. Darcey has an extensive background in land conservation and was able to put those skills to good use helping Jessica and Adrienne Hulbert (SWM’s real property specialist) secure over 240 acres of floodplain property since 2020.\nJudy Blanco is a Basin Steward within the Water and Land Resources Division of the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks. Her project areas include the Cedar River\, Issaquah Creek\, and Sammamish River. Her work includes prioritizing and sponsoring large scale floodplain restoration projects such as Riverbend\, acquiring open space along riparian corridors with a focus on salmon recovery\, collaborating on riparian restoration projects with nonprofit partners\, and assisting the public with stewardship of private streamside properties.\nMelissa Dahl and Mike Mactutis from the City of Kent\, will highlight the work that’s finished up at the Downey Farmstead Restoration Project.\n\n*** \n\nThe FbD Lunch & Learn Series is open to everyone. The topics of the monthly Lunch & Learn Series are informed by the Floodplains by Design network of practitioners and partners. If you would like to explore some of the topics and themes that emerged from our 2023 Input Gathering\, you can view the themes here. \nYou can view all the past Lunch & Learn recordings and the associated slidedecks on our Culture & Capacity Action Group page here. \n\nAs always\, we welcome feedback and ideas for upcoming topics so please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself (Allan Warren awarren@b-e-f.org)\, Carol MacIlroy (cmacilroy@gmail.com)\, Lisa Nelson\, (lnel461@ecy.wa.gov) or Matt Gerlach\, (mger461@ecy.wa.gov). \nZoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/2125469094  \nPasscode: 1234

SUMMARY:Funding and Policy Action Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The next Floodplains by Design’s Funding and Policy Action Group (FPAG) meeting is coming up on December 12th from 9:00-11:00 AM. This meeting is an opportunity to learn about emerging funding and policy issues impacting integrated floodplain management across the state and provide direct input to those leading these efforts. The agenda includes: \n\nProposed 2024 Legislation and Budget Items (Skippy Shaw\, WA State Government Relations Director at The Nature Conservancy)\nWA State Coastal Resilience Federal Funding Approach (Jay Krienitz\, Coasts and Oceans Management Unit Supervisor at Ecology)\nWA State Integrated Climate Change Response Strategy (Jimmy Kralj\, Climate Resilience Strategy Planner at Ecology)\nFunding and Policy Action Group Strategic Planning (Jonathon Loos\, Floodplain Management Policy Lead at Ecology and Brandon Parsons\, Director of River Restoration at American Rivers)\n\nThe WA State Integrated Climate Change Response Strategy will develop a coordinated vision across multiple state agencies to address the impacts of climate change through state laws\, policies\, regulations\, rules\, procedures\, agency technical capacity and funding – including a state coordinated response to federal funding. The team leading this effort will provide a report back to the State Legislature in September 2024. Engagement now will be a great opportunity to share the climate risks your community is facing\, the policy improvements needed to address them\, and the funding and capacity needed to effectively implement your goals.
