After a summer of overcrowding and understaffing in The Enchantments, the issue of day use management has reached an inflection point. Will this offseason present an opportunity to make changes along the Icicle Creek corridor, and if so, what will they entail? Hear from Seattle Times outdoors reporter Gregory Scruggs, who covered the issue closely this summer and traveled to Colorado to learn how another mountain town grappled with a similar challenge, along with Mat Lyons, Executive Director of TREAD, who has been working with Chelan County stakeholders on a proposal for alternative transportation options to Enchantments trailheads, and Sarah Shaffer, Executive Director of Wenatchee Outdoors, who will share insights on the on-the-ground work with over 40 volunteers in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, packing out pounds of trash from the Enchantments Wilderness area.
About the presenters:
Gregory Scruggs (he/him) is the outdoors reporter at The Seattle Times, where he writes about the intersection of recreation, land management and the outdoor industry in Washington. His coverage takes him deep into the Cascades and out on the Salish Sea. In 2022, he won the President’s Award in the newspaper category from the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
Mat Lyons (he/him) is the Executive Director of TREAD, a nonprofit that collaborate with all partners to drive sustainable outdoor recreation initiatives in North Central Washington.

Northeast Washington Wildflowers: A floristic tour
2026-02-05 19:00 - 20:00 | WA
Wenatchee Valley chapter of Washington Native Plant Society is offering Northeast Washington Wildflowers.
The Northeastern corner of our state from Spokane to the Canadian and Idaho borders has its own floral mix, with influences from the Rocky Mountains, British Columbia, the Palouse and more. We will explore what makes this region distinct from the rest of Washington and construct a sense of place with an appreciation of both classic-friend plants and regional specialties.
About the presenter: Elliot Robison is the incoming Chapter Chair for the WNPS Northeast Chapter. He is a relatively recent hobby botanist whose interest in native plants was born from a desire to build a deeper relationship with the world around him and the discovery that studying regional flora was a great way to do this.
When: Thursday, February 5th, 7:00 to 8:00pm
Where: Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, 127 S. Mission St., Wenatchee
