Endangered Species Act
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a federal law designed to protect and recover fish, wildlife, and plants that are threatened with or are in danger of becoming extinct. It requires federal and state agencies to work in coordination with local jurisdictions to recover listed species. Under the ESA in Clark County, several species have already been listed as threatened, including bull trout, chum, chinook, coho, and steelhead.
Join us for Big, Wild Fun at the Fair

Visit the ESA booth at the 2010 Clark County Fair, August 6-15. Our fair booth is part of a larger display called The River Ramble featuring activity centers sponsored by several of our partners. The River Ramble is located in South Hall Three across the fairway from the Dairy Women's booth.
Wander through the activity centers and learn how to protect and care for natural treasurers in our backyard. There are fun games and activities for kids and helpful information for adults.
Last year, ESA joined forces with partners to develop the River Ramble exhibit which won a first place award in the educational display category as well as awards from the Western Fair Association and the International Association of Fairs and Expositions.
Check out the video about last year's River Ramble and we will see you at the fair!
