Admiralty Audubon Program for November: Kah Tai Status Update
The public is invited Thursday, 17 November at 7 p.m.
Port Townsend Community Center, Lawrence and Tyler
Following the recommendation of the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office on 7 September, the National Park Service concurred on 27 September that all 78.5 acres included in the original Kah Tai Lagoon Nature Park boundary are protected in perpetuity.
Historic records were used to demonstrate to officials at City, State and Federal levels that the original intent of the Park was clear. Many of those documents came from public records requests to government offices at all levels and from long hours of internet searching of government records available online. Where government records needed supplementation, seven boxes of citizen archives provided critical details. The archives of the Friends of Kah Tai were stored in attics, under beds, in basements and closets of numerous Friends in their 30+ years of existence, just waiting to finally tell their story.
Rick Jahnke will discuss how the NPS ruling affects Kah Tai and the citizens of Port Townsend.
