The Columbia Land Trust has invited us to a send-off party.
As soon as they heard Al and I would be biking along the Columbia River they asked how they could help.
Help is what the Columbia Land Trust is all about.
I love browsing their website for pictures of the beautiful lands we'll see as we bike along the Columbia River.
But I'm most impressed with their stories of how people are helping the land.
I love their stories of the kids biking along the river to pull weeds with their parents. That reminds me of the many hours my kids spent picking garlic mustard off of our land for the price of a Dairy Queen.
The CLT newsletter tells wonderful stories of donations:
1. The young man who sends them $1.00 every year with a hand-written note to take care of the environment2. The 8 kids who wrote to their parents asking them to conserve their riverfront acreage along the great Columbia River.
3. The man whose pledge to his dying wife was to conserve their 2,000 acre ranchland...which they did.
And more....
If you want inspiring stories and pictures of the efforts people will make to conserve the natural lands near their homes, visit the Columbia Land Trust.
Al and I will.

looks gorgeous! and those hideous garlic mustard trips! loved the icecream but hate ticks! but we really did make a difference...i mean the land used to be FULL of gm (really tall GM) and now there is practically none! =D
In april it would take about 100 of the little gms to fill our bucket for a DQ.
At the end of May one giant GM alone would fill a bucket!
Did you check the click for DQ?
