- Steptoe Butte Natural Area Preserve (NAP) was established in 2018 to protect the largest known remaining occurrence of Palouse prairie in Washington. With an estimated 2% of its historic range remaining, the Palouse prairie is considered one of the most endangered ecosystems in the continental United States. The 437-acre preserve was identified by the Washington State Natural Heritage Program for NAP status to protect four rare plants, four priority plant associations, and one rare earthworm species.
- Bishop (Wikipedia)
A bishop is an ordained member of the clergy who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance and administration of dioceses. The role or office of the bishop is called episcopacy. Organizationally, several Christian denominations utilize ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority within their dioceses.
