Students explore Smith and Bybee Natural Area.
The Smith and Bybee Wetlands Advisory Committee provides diverse stakeholder perspectives to advise Metro on caring for the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area. The committee provides advice to Metro regarding multiple aspects of the natural area, including restoration activities and goals as they relate to the comprehensive natural resource management plan (CNRP), land use/planning actions that may have an effect on the natural area, and annual budget recommendations for the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Fund. This fund was established as a dedicated endowment fund for development and management of the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area as required by the Smith and Bybee Wetlands CNRP.
The committee typically meets once per quarter.
