This month, the commissioners are celebrating the men and women of the county that work diligently to preserve, beautify and manage the 100 plus local, county, tribal, state and national parks, trails and recreational sites available in the county. Parks Appreciation Week proclamation certificates were presented to directors and staff from the County Parks Department, Parks Advisory Board, Salmon Harbor Marina, and a number of city and state parks staff from around the county.
