CEDS July 2024

Join our team

The Society recognizes the expertise and commitment by other stakeholders toward issues facing Camas as the Home of Earth Day. We aim to work collaboratively to make progress on common ground issues. We recognize the need for housing and jobs, but also the needs of clean air, water and land for our survival. These environmental principles can and must co-exist with appropriate and responsible growth in downtown Camas. The uncertainty over the potential future use of the mill property must be addressed to better guide the cleanup standards applied under the Model Toxics Control Act. Now is the time to shape the outcome desired for the heart of our downtown, pressing for higher remediation standards and expanding the scope of investigation up front to not only fully remediate the site, but to also assess the extent and potential for the spread of contamination offsite from the Mill. The Society is a collection of residents drawn to Camas and Clark County for its resources, beauty, and people. Each of our lives reflects a diverse mix of interests including a passion for the outdoors, environmental issues, social justice causes, education and awareness of the importance of nature restoration and sustainable green practices so as to preserve the beauty and nature that make our town such a special place for us and future generations. We are youth. We are parents. We are grandparents. We are your neighbors. We are growing.
