Check out our latest client review:
“How could it be that I feel better at 80 than I did at 70! There are a number of reasons, and certainly having regular massages with Christina at possible has had an important impact on a physical and emotional well-being. I arrive at Pauseful stressed and strained, and leave an hour and a half later transformed both physically and emotionally. Christina style, intuitive and responsive, seems to know exactly what I am my body need. In my 70s I enjoyed monthly massages with Christina. Since my 80th birthday, I increase my visits every three weeks. I look forward to, and I’m never disappointed, in the overall health benefit of her massages.” G. Young

Some of you know me because of Pacific Northwest Dirt Fishing which has to do with metal detecting. I had my 4th back surgery on November 10th, obviously detecting is out of the question for me during recovery.
The next best thing, other than my husband, is my love for creating art! I am able to spend time on and off in my “She Shed” but I have a problem. I have the perfect 12″ round stool that I am unable to sit on due to it having no cover.
Does anyone have a 12″ round, padded stool cover with elastic to keep it in place? Does someone want to make one? I don’t care what it looks like, I just need to be able to sit and not fall off.
Thank you in advance!
Tiffany

The LNWC’s Annual Meeting will start at 5 pm. The Annual Meeting consists of board elections, selection of board officers, and the Annual Report. All members are welcome to attend to vote in board elections. The Annual Report will be a summary of council activities in 2022 including progress reports on restoration designs, planting projects, and regional collaborations. It’s been a busy year for the council so we hope you’ll come early to learn about what we’ve been up to.
Andy Bluhm’s presentation on red alder will begin at 7 pm. This presentation will introduce the characteristics of red alder and summarize the ecological role that red alder plays in the Oregon Coast Range. We’ll look at how red alder fits into the big picture of PNW ecosystems then examine the red alder’s effect on diversity, site productivity, community resiliency, and ecosystem function. Specific emphasis will be placed on the function red alder has in riparian systems and it’s influence on riparian communities.
In addition to a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Minnesota and an M.S. in Forest Ecology/Silviculture from the University of Georgia, Andy has spent the last 20 years at OSU as the Associate Program Director of the Hardwood Silviculture Cooperative- focusing on the biology and management of red alder. Other research projects at OSU have included directing the red alder management program for the OSU College Forests, managing a long-term study on alternative silvicultural practices, installing and measuring a Swiss Needle Cast research plot network, and coordinating the PNW Permanent Sample Plot network. His main duties include everything from education and outreach, data collection to growth and yield modeling and everything in between. In his free time, he enjoys exploring PNW old-growth forests in pursuit of big trees.
Andy is an expert on this foundational tree in our watershed and will have a wealth of information to share with us. Hopefully, everyone will walk away from this talk with a new appreciation for Red Alders and the roles they play in the Nehalem.
Both the Annual Meeting and the presentation will be hosted on Zoom and are free to the public. The zoom link is us02web.zoom.us/j/83650617243 or on the Faceboook event at www.facebook.com/lnwc1. You can also contact the watershed council at info@nehalemwatershed.org. A recording of this presentation will also be posted on the LNWC’s YouTube channel with our other recorded presentations.
