Mill Creek Ridge Milestone
Latest acquisition completes 10-year conservation effort
By acquiring 115 acres in February, Columbia Land Trust completed a decade-long effort to conserve more than 400 contiguous acres of oak-and-pine woodlands and native wildflower meadows along Mill Creek Ridge. Located southwest of The Dalles in Wasco County, Oregon, the ridge offers vital habitat to pollinators and birds such as Lewis's woodpeckers. Learn More.
For a unique opportunity to see Mill Creek Ridge's wildflowers in bloom, join us for our Making Meadows Tour on April 23rd.

Drones help monitor changing conditions on restoration projects
