Tacoma residents are invited to learn more about the creation of a natural resource management plan for Mason Gulch during an open house in July.

The City of Tacoma is asking for feedback on the various areas of the natural resource management plan that are being considered, including native vegetation, wildlife habitat, recreation, public safety, slope stability, stewardship, water quality, views, and public access. Individuals who attend the open house will learn more about the development of the plan and how they can get involved.

The Mason Gulch Open House will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thurs., July 30, at the University of Puget Sound (Rasmussen Rotunda), located at 1500 N. Warner St., in Tacoma. More information is available online here.
