Forester taking a core sample from the Western White Pine Seasonal Changes Life in this forest We look out our windows and see deer and elk. Bald eagles live along our rivers and lakes.
Osprey are also here.
Beautiful white swans migrate through here each spring. We live in a logging town and it is our wish that this resource will continue to support our community without clear cutting or waste. We hope that our forests are cared for as they make our area special for the wildlife it supports and the beauty that abounds.
