This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interest of all our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Territories under U.S. administration.

Better decisions are made, and better actions taken, when watershed processes and other management activities within a watershed are taken into consideration.

Box 3621 Portland, Oregon 97208-3621 ENVIRONMENT, FISH AND WILDLIFE July 15, 2015 In reply refer to: KEC-4 To: Parties Interested in the Proposed Atfalati Pairie Land Acquisition under the 2010 Willamette Wildlife Habitat Agreement The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) intends to fund the purchase of approximately 213 acres of floodplain, riparian and wet prairie habitats, located along the Tualatin River in Washington County, Oregon state. When the purchase is complete Columbia Land Trust will own and manage the property for fish and wildlife conservation purposes and BPA will receive a conservation easement to ensure that the habitat values on the property are always protected. BPA is sending this letter to inform nearby residents and other interested parties of this land purchase. Funding this land purchase partially fulfills commitments made by BPA in the 2010 “Willamette River Basin Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Wildlife Habitat Protection and Enhancement between the State of Oregon and the Bonneville Power Administration.” This is part of ongoing efforts to mitigate for the impacts to fish and wildlife from the construction and operation of federal flood control and hydroelectric facilities in the Willamette River Basin. When the transaction is complete, this property will become one of a growing network of conservation lands in the Willamette Valley providing important and long lasting fish and wildlife habitat benefits. Conserving habitat on the Tualatin River property also partially fulfills BPA’s habitat restoration and protection responsibilities under the Willamette Project Biological Opinions (NMFS 2008, USFWS 2008). Enclosed you will find a map detailing this land transaction.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Carolyn Patricia McAleer for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on November 14, 2003. Title: Patterns from the Past: Exploring Gender and Ethnicity through Historical Archaeology among Fur Trade Families in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Abstract Approved: Redacted for privacy David R. Brauner This thesis examines archaeological material in order to explore gender and ethnicity issues concerning fur tradeera families from a settlement in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Ethnohistorical information consisting of traders journals and travelers observations, as well as documentation from the Hudson's Bay Company, Catholic church records, and genealogical information helped support and guide this research. By using historical information as wellas archaeological material, this research attempted to interpret possible ethnic markers and gender relationships between husbands and wives among five fur tradeera families. Families of mixed ethnicity, including French Canadian, Native, Metis and American, settled the valley after 1828 bringing with them objects and activities characteristic of their way of life. Retired fur tradetrappers, of French Canadian and American decent, married either Metisor Native women. Of 53 identified families, four French Canadian/Native families have been chosen for this project,as well as one American settler, and his Native wife. Little is known about how these women interacted within their families or whether they maintained certain characteristics of their Native culture. It was hoped that these unique cultural dynamics might become evident through an analysis of the ceramic assemblages from these sites. Due to the extensive nature of the archaeological collections, and time constraints related to this thesis, only ceramics have been examined.

  • 2016-2017 Conservation Report
    CONSERVATION & RESTORATION Report 2016-2017 © Ken Shults Exploring our Curious Nature It’s hard to live in the Pacific Northwest and not develop a love for the outdoors. We all have our own ways and reasons. Some explore new trails and backroad adventures, others spend weekends gardening in the backyard or relaxing in a neighborhood park, and still others work the land for a living. No matter how we connect with nature, the connection helps us slow down, look closer, breathe easier, and see the world with fresh eyes. The more we listen to and learn about the world around us, the deeper our reverence, awe, and curiosity grow. At Columbia Land Trust, we’re decicated to protecting and restoring the Northwest’s vital natural places so that curiosity always has a place to thrive. Thanks to supporters like you, we were successful in protecting some of our region’s most important places, and we’re well situated to expand on those successes in the years to come. In 2016 alone, we conserved 3,526 acres, increasing our lifetime total by more than 10 percent. While we’re proud to of this momentous achievement, acreage alone can’t fully describe the nature of our work. For years, Columbia Land Trust has been building relationships: listening, learning, and changing what we do based on what we learned. We have even seen a few successes in bridging cultural chasms, such as the urban-rural divide, by unearthing our common love for the Northwest. 1 © Brian Chambers Photography Columbia Land Trust has helped to find simple solutions that overcome our regional “timber and fish wars” by finding the common ground.
