Before Columbia Land Trust came on the scene, life on Kandoll Road was quiet, serene and full of nature sounds for the local human inhabitants. Then, along came big money and ideas that would put fish and their habitat before people and their homes and property. In this case, Columbia Land Trust acquired lots of grant money to install two 13-foot diameter culverts under Kandoll Road which allowed flood waters from the Grays River to flow into Seal Slough. These high water events flooded neighboring properties and eroded private dikes on Seal...

Looks like we are back to the warm trend again. Personally I prefer the cooler but this makes it nice for picking berries and getting them frozen or made into jam or pies without fear of mildew. If I could keep my dogs from helping me by eating them off the vines, I would have lots more. The gardens are producing in abundance again this year, and our neighbor, Nancy George, as usual is providing us with delicious veggies grown with her tender loving care. Thank you Nan. Our yellow transparent apple tree had lots of apples and we have found a...
