Her big concerns for the Skykomish Valley are chemical and trash pollution, out-of-balance economy and ecosystem, and conservation of resources. Inessa has many interests, including history, food and sustainable farming, sports, literature, music, arts and healing arts, and Native American anthropology.
Diane Hardee (Secretary) has lived with her family in the forested Cascade foothills above the Skykomish Valley for 28 years. She received her Master’s degree in Education from the University of WA and is a retired teacher. Diane has been concerned about chemical pesticide use in our watershed, since 1981, particularly aerial pesticide use in forestry, and how it may affect our health and water quality. She is a member of the Pilchuck Audubon Society (PAS), the Toxic-Free Future (TFF) and the Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides (NCAP). She joined SVENA to help protect the Skykomish watershed.
Charles (Chuck) R. Lie (Treasurer) and his wife have been residents of Gold Bar for 15 years. Prior to moving to Gold Bar, they lived east of North Bend on the edge of the forest. Chuck is a life long resident of Washington State and a professional geologist. Chuck has been active in the City of Gold Bar as a concerned citizen, a planning commissioner and as a city council member. Chuck joined the SVENA group to help foster our local sense of stewardship of this valley we call home.
