Then you’re invited to a public meeting and workshop hosted by the WSU Colville Reservation Extension Office, on Tuesday, August 18, from 10 a.m. to noon, at the Nespelem Longhouse, across from the cemetery. Learn what can be done to minimize their damage to your crops/gardens and plan for next year.
