What does it take to restore a forest to a healthy condition? Join Land Trust Stewardship Director Neal Hedges and CDLT Past Board President/retired USFS forest scientist Dr. John Lehmkuhl for an evening hike on Mountain Home Ridge this May to see how the Land Trust has been working to address this question.
Last fall, the Land Trust completed the first stage of a forest thinning project on Mountain Home Ridge above Leavenworth. The ultimate goal is to restore the forest to a healthy and fire resilient condition, similar to how dry forests historically looked, and reduce wildfire risk to the community. On this hike you will join experts to learn the how’s and why’s of thinning a forest, learn more about how this project will affect people and wildlife in the area, and get a glimpse into what the forest might look like in the coming years.
For this hike, we will meet in Leavenworth at 5:30 to carpool to the Ridge, then spend about 1.5 hours hiking on roads and trails, with occasional stops. We should be back to our cars in Leavenworth by 7:45.
RSVPs required. This trip is limited to 14 participants. Participants will be emailed with more information before the trip. Please contact hillary@cdlandtrust.org or (509) 667-9708 for more information.

Location
Lower Sleepy Hollow Preserve

Sign up online here!

Give your mother the gift of an evening spent in nature. One of our newest protected properties, Sleepy Hollow Preserve contains almost 40 acres of land along the lower Wenatchee. On this outing, we will explore what makes this place so special and important to protect. This takes place the day after Mother’s Day, so we will be including Mother’s Day-themed activities on this outing.
While the route itself is flat, the ground is rocky and uneven, so good footwear and physical ability are required. We will be visiting during flood season, so there is a chance that access will be limited, and it will be a good idea to bring rubber boots and clothes you don’t mind getting wet in order to cross shallow side channels. We will cancel this outing in the event of a major flood.
Though public access will be available in the future, the only way to access this property now is on a guided Land Trust outing. We expect this to fill quick – don’t miss out!
This event is open to members only. Not a member? Become one today! (Not sure? Email hillary@cdlandtrust.org to ask about the status of your membership.)
RSVP required. More information will be emailed to participants prior to the trip. Sign up online here. Contact hillary@cdlandtrust.org or call (509) 667-9708 with any questions.

Experiencing Birds of the West through Artistry
2019-05-17 13:00 - 15:00
When: Friday May 17th from 1-3pm
Where: Wenatchee River Institute’s River Haus
Experiencing birds of the west through the eyes of an artist, with Molly Hashimoto
“When creating art about birds, it brings me closer to them –art extends the experience. With birds, I actively learn more about them, I read about them and I study my own art,” explains award-winning artist Molly Hashimoto. Hashimoto wants to meet her subjects halfway when she paints, and feels that taking a photo is too quick an experience. With her art, she devotes time to her natural muses, giving them her full attention; Hashimoto wants to share this experience with others.
The publication date for Hashimoto’s book Birds of the West: An Artist’s Guide, is May 1st. While creating art for this book, Seattle resident Hashimoto sought inspiration in settings both urban and wild, exploring parks and wildlife refuges all over the West. In the book, she captures nearly 100 Western bird species using different media, from sketches with pen and ink to vivid block prints.
“Each medium has a unique way of revealing different avian qualities—those delicate feathers and eggs or a direct and imposing eye, an elegant curve of a bill or the brilliant colors of plumage,” tells Hashimoto.
Hashimoto’s artistic pursuits began when she was a young child, but she did not start with birds. However as time progressed, she noticed that birds accompany us daily in backyards and neighborhoods, with their songs, bright colors, and energetic activity. As she began to paint birds, she became what she describes as an avid bird watcher. Hashimoto is always delighted to uncover in her art details she hadn’t consciously noticed before.
On Friday, May 17, 1-3pm in Wenatchee River Institute’s River Haus, Molly Hashimoto is offering a fun hands-on art session as a part of the Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest (May 16-19). In this class, you will learn about some of the techniques she shares in her new book, including block prints, sketching on toned paper, etching, and more. Included with the session will be a slide presentation about Hashimoto’s many experiences with birds and how they have inspired her art. Afterward, from 3-4pm and open to the public, Hashimoto will be available for questions and book signing.
For more than twenty-five years, her work has appeared in cards, books, and calendars. She is the author of Colors of the West. Her subjects include mountain peaks, forests, ferns, wildflowers, coastal headlands and estuaries. Hashimoto is dedicated to connecting people to nature through hands-on art experiences and for many months each year, can be found offering workshops to aspiring artists of all ages in Seattle, the North Cascades Institute, Yellowstone Forever Institute, Wenatchee River Institute, and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology.
Said Hashimoto, “Even people who don’t consider themselves birders seek them out. From urban wetlands to wilderness trails, we follow the sound of a distant twitter or song.” The range of her art and precise detail encourages all of us -whether artists or not- to observe our feathered friends more closely.

A History of Salmon Decline in the Columbia River
2019-05-29 18:30 - 20:30
WRI Red Barn Speaker Event, May 29, 2019, 7PM (doors open 6:30PM)
Red Barn speaker event, A History of Salmon Decline in the Columbia River with Jason Lundgren
On Wed., May 29thin the Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn, Cascade Columbia Fisheries Enhancement Group’s (CCFEG) Executive Director Jason Lundgren, will present A History of Salmon Decline in the Columbia River. Doors will open at 6:30pm for community social and no-host refreshments, with the presentation beginning at 7pm.
Human activities, including salmon canneries operating along the Columbia during the last half of the 1800’s and the construction of large dams during the 1900’s, as well as environmental factors such as climate change, have all contributed to the massive decline in salmon populations.
Lundgren’s presentation will include a slideshow and offer ideas for how salmon in the Columbia River can be protected, how to mitigate the fish’s population loss and how healthy populations can be restored.
A graduate of the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Jason has been involved in fisheries and natural resources for many years. An avid angler, Jason previously worked for the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group, CCFEG’s counterpart in Olympia, before moving on to a role with the Salmon Recovery Funding Board. As the Executive Director of CCFEG, Jason is very excited to be involved in salmon recovery in such a vibrant area. He is also on the board of directors for Trout Unlimited. Lundgren lives in Leavenworth with his wife, three children and George, the family dog.
This Red Barn Event speaker event is co-sponsored by Wenatchee River Institute, Trout Unlimited, and CCFEG.
