Columbia Land Trust acquires a 300-acre watershed area along the Klickitat River with a generous donation from the landowner and a grant from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board.
By Cherie Kearney
Over the past few years, Bill Giersch has learned enough about Columbia Land Trust to ensure his and his late wife Mary’s goals for their land could be accomplished through private land conservation. This month, Bill conveyed another 300 acres of his land along the Klickitat River into conservation—adding to 580 acres previous conserved with the Land Trust and keeping the natural character and simple beauty of this landscape intact. “You develop a concern for the land and you care about it,” Bill says, and goes on to add, “The Land Trust was the only one who could do what I wanted.”
“You develop a concern for the land and
you care about it, the Land Trust was the
only one who could do what I wanted.”

Ranchers Bill and Mary Giersch owned the Logging Camp land for cattle grazing. They wanted assurance their land would remain wild and open as it was since Mary’s family homesteaded in 1883. Mary’s grandfather, Oliver Kreps, started the OK Ranch as a homestead in the Glenwood Valley in north Klickitat County. Glenn Lamb, executive director for Columbia Land Trust, says “Bill’s generosity and perspectives have benefited conservation and the work of the Land Trust. We find that we have common ground with ranchers and farmers. We share an interest in conserving land and historic agricultural uses.
Logging Camp Canyon
|
Ten miles from the confluence of the Klickitat and Columbia Rivers, Logging Camp Creek spills into the Klickitat River. Logging Camp Creek provides one of the last and best vestiges of quality spawning and rearing habitat accessible to steelhead and coho in the lower Klickitat watershed. It has a mature forest of Douglas fir and ponderosa pine on the north-facing canyon slope and oak and pine woodland on the south-facing slope. The property is remote and provides undisturbed habitat for western grey squirrel, migrating neo-tropical birds, cougar, bear, coyote, deer and other wildlife. The Land Trust will manage the Logging Camp Canyon forest and creek to enhance wildlife habitat and forest health and reduce invasive species.

Deep River Conservation
Land Trust acquires 43 acres along the Deep River for critical salmon habitat restoration.
By Les Zimmer
In December of 2002, Columbia Land Trust acquired 43 acres of land along the west bank of the Deep River from Leon and Linda Gollersrud. The Deep River is a tributary of Grays Bay in the estuary of the Columbia River and is part of a larger conservation effort in the Lower Columbia that will protect hundreds of acres of critical riparian habitat for salmon and other species.
Leon Gollersrud
Altoona, Washington

The Gollersruds are natives of the area, with Leon growing up on a farm on the upper Grays River and Linda growing up in Skamokawa. Leon originally bought the Deep River property for the timber value it held, planning to selectively log the old growth spruce. When Linda visited the property she fell in love with it and couldn’t imagine cutting the majestic giants. Leon says “after that the chainsaw got parked and the motor home came out!” The property quickly became a favorite nearby getaway for the family. Countless loads of fine gravel were used to make durable footpaths and Leon carried in timbers on his back to construct the footbridges over the many fingers of tidal streams reaching into the property. Without damaging the land, one can walk nearly all the way from Oneida Road to the Deep River without the ever-present hip-boots usually needed to navigate this region on foot. The property has seen many family gatherings over the years, with friends and family enjoying the almost park-like setting created by the cover of the old growth trees.
The habitat on this property is comprised mostly of old growth spruce forested wetland. These tidally influenced backwater habitat areas provide critical foraging and rearing opportunities for much of the Columbia Basin’s anadromous fish species. Some species will spend several months to more than a year feeding and growing in the backwater channels. In addition to providing critical habitat for several threatened species of salmon, the property also provides important habitat for bald eagles, osprey, hawks, owls and other bird species, as well as Roosevelt elk, deer, black bear among other wildlife.
This project is part of a much larger conservation effort in the region which includes several different conservation agencies, including Ducks Unlimited and The Nature Conservancy. The Lower Columbia River Fish Recovery Board and the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership have both determined that these projects are of the highest priority to restore salmon runs and the health of the Columbia River estuary. Restoring tidal function to disconnected floodplain will return the land to a naturally functioning condition to benefit all wildlife. Funding for these projects has been provided through the North American Wetlands Conservation Act, the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board, the Charlotte Y. Martin Foundation and the Wildlife Forever Fund.
The Gollersruds felt fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Columbia Land Trust in conserving this land. With the chainsaw silent, the family was not receiving the income from the property that they had anticipated, and they did not want to sell-off the land for development. Finding themselves to be “true conservationists at heart,” they are glad that the area will be conserved in perpetuity for its critical wildlife habitat and natural beauty.
Commuting
Glenn Lamb's Musings
Unbelievably, each fall season an average four million hawks of 20 species, including two million broad-winged hawks, are recorded from two count sites in central Veracruz, Mexico. These hawks travel thousands of miles in their annual migrations, with many “commuting” here to our Columbia River region.

Hundreds of other bird species rely in part on critical habitat in our home region in these amazing migratory journeys. A single conservation site can support a huge percentage of available habitat world-wide, as is the case with Caspian terns at the mouth of the Columbia River.
In the last few years Columbia Land Trust has conserved more than 4,000 acres of our most vital habitat and the signature landscapes that define this place we call home.
We know these places are essential to survival of our salmon.
We know these places are critical for the great northwest web of life.
We know these places contain the most basic beauty of earth and life that brings us joy, calm, and a great measure of inspiration.
And we know that to help our long-distance commuters, we must extend our partnerships well beyond our homelands.
Last year, Columbia Land Trust participated in conservation projects that conserve critical habitat from El Salvador, through Mexico, California, Oregon and Washington. And as you read this newsletter I have started a personal four-month sabbatical during part of which I will be building more conservation partnerships along the Pacific Coast of the Americas.
As we work locally to conserve the great lands of the Columbia River region, we must recognize how our work affects our conservation partners, both national and international, and work cooperatively to conserve the significant habitat that these species rely on throughout their migratory journey. We are truly acting locally while thinking globally. Thank you for making this work possible.
Thank you for making this work possible.
Volunteer Days
Just when you thought the work was done, the growing season begins!
The Columbia Land Trust Stewardship Program is charged with the challenging task of managing almost 3,200 acres of conserved land from the East Cascades to the Pacific Coast. The tasks range from weed removal and demolition of built structures, to conducting surveys on snakes and squirrels, acorn production and rare plants.
The following calendar outlines the Land Trust Volunteer Days for the next few months. Please make a note of the dates and keep your eye out for announcements via email. If you do not have access to email, I would be happy to contact you by way of phone or mail.
If you have not previously volunteered for Columbia Land Trust, please take a minute to call, email, or register online at

VOLUNTEER DAYS CALENDAR
April 2003-August 2003
Volunteers scouting for weeds
in Dillicourt Canyon
|
Saturday, April 19: Earth Day Celebration at the CASEE center in Brush Prairie. Sponsored by local non-profit organizations, Northwest Service Academy (AmeriCorps), and Clark County, the celebration will include information on various environmental organizations, service opportunities, children’s activities, a puppet show, music, food, dance, art and celebration! Dr. Robert Michael Pyle will be the keynote speaker and musical guest is Stilltenders, a bluegrass band from Portland. Festivities will last from 1-5 pm and are preceded by a plant sale at noon. Contact Lindsay for more information.
Saturday, May 17-18: Klickitat lands call again. This time, help the Land Trust eradicate weeds, and possibly, for the more adventurous at heart, survey the wildlife. This weekend, you have the option of celebrating spring by camping at a nearby public campground and help us out on Sunday as well!
Saturday, June 21: The first day of summer! Spend it in the Gorge on the east side of the Cascades. We’ll head back out to the Klickitat properties to work away at weeds.
Saturday, July 19: In a break with tradition, we will go downstream to work on our properties in the Gray’s Bay area. Stay tuned for details!
Saturday, August 23: For the first time in 40 years, the rare and beautiful Trumpeter Swan returned to Hines Marsh, an interdunal wetland on the Long Beach Penisula being restored by the Trumpeter Swan Society. Columbia Land Trust owns two
parcels of land in Hines Marsh and we invite you to give a day of service eradicating weeds and removing large woody debris to increase the quality of swan habitat.
We hope to see you at these events.
Thank you to all our volunteers for jobs well done!

East side stewardship perspectives
By Ian Sinks
With the addition of Logging Camp Canyon, Columbia Land Trust now has more than 1,600 acres of land in conservation east of the Cascade Mountains. Stewardship of these lands is both a challenge and an opportunity. Challenges include the presence of non-native weeds, protecting the water sources for the riparian and spawning habitats, and ensuring forest health – particularly with oak and pine woodlands. The steep ravines and rugged nature of the landscape also amplifies the challenges of managing these lands for conservation.
Wasco County, Oregon
|
Often the first challenge facing the stewardship program is knowing enough about a particular area of land to make wise and sustainable management decisions. There are many ways to meet this challenge. Where funding is available we have been able to hire foresters and botanists to conduct surveys and provide input. The Land Trust also has a growing cadre of volunteers that are able to get out on the ground to map weed populations (and remove these noxious plants to the extent possible), collect data on forest stand condition, and assist in wildlife surveys. Partners such as the Yakama Nation Fisheries program is collecting stream reach data, monitoring water temperatures and water levels, and looking at opportunities to increase stream productivity for the winter steelhead runs on the Klickitat River.
Opportunities in stewardship arise as all this information is collected and understanding of site ecology builds. Knowing the conservation purpose (or donor intent) of acquiring a property, and combining this with a solid understanding of management issues makes for a strong foundation from which management plans can be developed and implemented. One opportunity that is particularly exciting is our ability to use our conservation lands as models for management - for example, on the oak woodland communities of the east side. Compared to the science of managing conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest, the science of oak woodland management is still developing. Questions center on what kind of oak woodland is the most important for the greatest number of species. Acorn production as a food source, influence of fire on community development, cavity presence for nesting wildlife, snag presence for animals that feed on insects, downed and woody debris for shelter, and understory plant composition are each important aspects of stewardship planning.
While change of land is often slow to observe, this work will ultimately benefit forest and plant communities, and fish and wildlife populations. It will provide the baseline to measure change, and it provides the basis for sustainable habitat management on east side habitat communities.
