Looking for a great outing in the Cascade foothills? It’s that time of the year when a Christmas tree permit may be purchased for $5.00 at the Zigzag Ranger District at 70220 E. HWY 26, Zigzag, OR.   503-622-3191. Hours are Monday through Friday 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM (closed from Noon to 1:00 for lunch). Special Holiday Hours: Saturdays, December 1st through 15th and Sundays December 2nd through 16th From 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Stop at the Ranger Station for details on where you may cut and the maximum size.

Here are some interesting facts about Christmas trees.

Did you know that Oregon is the number one producer of Christmas trees in the United States. Nine million Christmas trees are harvested in Oregon. One of the largest producers of trees, McKenzie Farms, is located right here in Welches Oregon. Oregon has 775 Christmas tree growers and this industry adds 110 million in sales back into our economy.

A tree for $5.00 is one incredible bargain these days!

Mt. Hood Wild Spring Chinook Salmon Controvercy

Wednesday, October 17, 2012
by Liz Warren

As we know on Mt. Hood, "it's all about the fish". There's recent controversy over the wild and hatchery fish coming up stream after the removal of the Marmot Dam in 2007 (see video)

and their spawning grounds intermingling. These spawning grounds would be in our local Zig Zag River and Sandy River. The Sandy River Hatchery recently received approval from the Feds to run their program. I am by no means an expert on fish. I do my fishing at the local Trout Farm. Here is a recent article explaining the issues.

by Liz Warren

Extreme temps have no burning of any kind for our area. These higher temps will remain through the week so be extra cautious and diligent to be on the look out for any fires in our area. Haze and smoke is filling our skies blowing in from out of area fires. Here is a handy map to check on any current area fires in Oregon and Washington.

Sandy High School Grand Opening This Friday!

Thursday, September 6, 2012
by Liz Warren

This Friday is the long awaited grand opening of the new Sandy High School. I took a tour of the new facility a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is this is the best thing to happen in our community in a long time. The thought and design features of the school are amazing. Public tours are offered this Friday afternoon starting at 3:30 pm. along with the opening dedication at 6:00. Governor John Kitzhaber will be at the dedication! If you can't make it to the tour, check out the new state of the art high school here!
