An Economic Perspective
A Free Event Presented by North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection
On Thursday, August 29, at 6:30 p.m. at the Parish Hall of St. Mary by the Sea (275 S. Pacific St.; Rockaway Beach, OR 97136), North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) will host natural resource economist Ernie Niemi.

Mr. Niemi’s presentation will broadly explore the economic consequences of the climate crisis before examining the economic importance of maintaining our forested ecosystem. Audience participation is encouraged by Mr. Niemi. All are invited to attend and learn about how interconnected the health of our environment and our economy really are.
