NEW TVTU Partner Project!!

Schedule Sunday - October 27th to be there!!!

In hopes of boosting volunteer attendance by making the travel shorter to our projects - as well as keeping projects close to our 'home' territory, the Board made an effort to locate some conservation partners right here in the Tualatin Valley.

Tom will let us know how your decisions and actions helped move a few key bills into law! Looking at the listing of activity from the session on our LEGISLATIVE PAGE - there was a lot going on!

Tom will also give us some prep for 2014 - and let us know what may be coming up this next year! Stop by not only to meet Tom and see where you can direct your efforts [as well as where some of your TU monies go] but because knowing Tom there will also be a fish story or two as well....

Round Lake Brown    -J. Price

Round Lake 2013

Not certain how many people may have tried to make the trip earlier this month to Round Lake – but apparently I missed out on the caravan to the lake on the assigned date [at least I was the only waiting in the lot for others never having before - you see this was my fifth try.......

September Member Meeting – recap

We’ve talked about providing some sort of recap for the various meetings we have for the Chapter throughout the year – thought this month might be a good time to try and start that. Obviously, we don’t want to tell the whole tale and give away everything but perhaps some highlights will provide enough background to pique the interests of some and show that many people – organizations, speakers, members and chapter organizers – work diligently to bring issue of interest to our members.

Circle Creek Off Channel Wetland Complex major construction finished

Before


I just received some photos from Doug Ray, our intrepid Restoration Specialist/Member at the Coast, who has been working hard constructing the newest Off Channel Wetland Complex on the North Coast Land Conservancies Circle Creek property. Tualatin Valley Trout Unlimited was able to secure a grant from Trout Unlimited's Embrace A Stream program to help fund this important work. Major construction is complete and there remains some hand grading and lots of native species planting to do. TVTU will be working at the site on November 2nd. If you are not already on our e mail volunteer list and would like more information about participating in this work, please contact me, Michael Ellis at TVTUrestoration@gmail.com.

Fall River, Central Oregon

Next weekend you will find TVTU members on the Fall River! Fall River Campground will be the spot to stay and keep warm by the campfire with tales of tails! This small 12 site campground out of La Pine has been the TVTU home-away-from-home for the popular Fall River outing for a good number of years and is a nice spot to base camp - with open camping sites there is room to share as well.
