Members Enjoy Kern Water Bank Tour, Monthly Meetings Resume in September
Thanks to Kern Water Bank General Manager Jon Parker, who led a special tour for our AWMA Chapter and guests on May 23. This was an excellent opportunity to view the wildlife at the Kern Water Bank and also learn more about the ponds, infrastructure and habitat. The Chapter also would like to thank Kathy Parker, a past Chapter Chair, for organizing the tour. Go to the meeting page to view some photos of the event.
