KCT is actively engaged in ESA-listed Bull Trout recovery efforts in the Yakima Basin, and we are sponsoring several large restoration projects in various phases from design and permitting to full-scale implementation.<\/p><p>KCT seeks to acquire land for conservation and future restoration, and works to facilitate the transfer of private land into public ownership. KCT engages with other nonprofits, agencies, and the community to advocate for and support Bull Trout recovery, as well as the enhancement and protection of all critical habitat in Kittitas County.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Lexend, sans-serif;letter-spacing: 0.3px\">Why do you think it is important to make information and resources accessible to everyone?<\/h3><p>It is essential to make all (nature) information and resources accessible to everyone because we all share this planet and its resources and thus all share the same inherent rights to access information. We must work collectively to understand the issues we face, because without barrier-free access to the tools and information needed to understand these issues, the challenges they present grow and their solutions remain out of reach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-22aee95 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"22aee95\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-04c7bf8\" data-id=\"04c7bf8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bdbc81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2bdbc81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"font-family: Lexend, sans-serif;letter-spacing: 0.3px\">What initially led you to seek out assistive tools for your website and why did you choose Recite Me?<\/h3><p style=\"font-family: Lexend, sans-serif;letter-spacing: 0.3px\">An acknowledgement of the critical need to reach as wide an audience as possible lead us to seek out assistive tools for our website.
