Warm Springs seat on the Jefferson County Soil & Water Conservation District board filled for the first time in decades
About this episode
Alysia Klick’ump discusses her recent appointment to the Jefferson County Soil & Water Conservation District board and her unique perspective as a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs.
The Jefferson County Soil & Water Conservation District helps manage irrigation, soil erosion, water quality and other factors that impact the health of the county’s watersheds. It’s supposed to be overseen by a seven-member board, but until recently, one seat had remained vacant for more than 30 years. Alysia Klick’ump was recently appointed to the board as an associate director for Zone 1, which covers the Warm Springs reservation. She joins us to talk about her role and the perspective she adds to the board as a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs and fly fishing guide.
