Drinking For Conservation: Washington Wild

Drinking For Conservation — a sub-organization of the Point Defiance Chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers that raises money for endangered species through benefit nights at Tacoma taverns and bars — hosts a fundraiser for Washington Wild, a nonprofit organization that protects and restores wild lands and waters in Washington state through advocacy, education, and civic engagement, at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, at Peaks & Pints in Tacoma’s Proctor District.

The natural beauty of Washington’s wild lands and waters is one of the reasons many of us choose to live, work and play in the Pacific Northwest. Washington Wild works hard to both protect and defend the natural beauty of Washington state’s federal lands. As the only statewide group dedicated to protecting wild lands and waters, Washington Wild plays a unique leadership role in working with both national and local grassroots advocacy groups. A key part of this work is to develop campaigns in support of federally designated Wilderness and federally designated Wild & Scenic Rivers, the strongest protections available for federal lands and waters.

Drinking For Conservation has titled their Washington Wild fundraiser “Lager For Clean Waters” with 50 cents of every draught poured at Peaks & Pints from 6-9 p.m. Thursday going toward Washington Wild’s mission.
