Columbia River: Connection to a rich past

Rex Ziak (pronounced “zeek”) has studied in great depth the environment and history of the lower Columbia River region, where he has resided all his life. He is now much in demand as a lecturer and consultant on Lewis and Clark and is working to preserve and memorialize their campsites along the Columbia River. Please note: quotes from Lewis & Clark are taken directly from journal entries; spelling and grammar is as it was written.

By Rex Ziak

Change is all around us; we see it everywhere we look. But how much has really changed? How would we ever know what was native, natural, or that existed here before we were born?

Fortunately for us, two of America’s most observant and articulate explorers passed through the Pacific Northwest nearly two hundred years ago. Lewis and Clark recorded their observations in journals which have been carefully preserved and now serve as a “time-machine” which allows us to look back to 1805 and see this land as they saw it, before the ranchers and railroads arrived.

For example, we are all familiar with the deep-green color of the Columbia River, however, from Lewis and Clark’s journals we know the river they saw in 1805 was crystal clear. Clark tells us that while they were encamped near present-day Pasco, Washington he could see salmon swimming in water more than three fathoms deep.

“This river is remarkably Clear and crowded with Salmon in maney places….and in the Bottom which can be seen at the debth of 20 feet.”

Lewis and Clark described the majestic Golden and Bald Eagles that can still be seen today, however, these raptors shared the sky with a much larger bird. The California Condor, which once glided along the wind currents above the Columbia, has not been seen here for more than a hundred years.

“Shannon and Labiesh brought in to us to day a ….Vulture of the Columbia which they had wounded and taken alive. Between the extremities of the wings it measured 9 feet 2 inches; from the extremity of the beak to that of the toe 3 feet 9 and a half.”

The Pacific Ocean Lewis and Clark described in their journals was crowded with life. They tell us the coastal surf would toss fish upon the beach; when the tide went out, the table was set.

“I Saw Indians walking up and down the beech….one man came to where I was and told me that he was in Serch of fish which is frequently thrown up on Shore and left by the tide….and that the water when it retired left fish which they eate.”

The region from the Cascade Range to the ocean was perhaps the most magnificent forest of conifers on earth. These immense trees astounded Lewis and Clark. They carefully cataloged and measured the various species so that President Jefferson and other botanists in the East would understand the grandeur of this forest.

“There are several species of fir in this neighbourhood….in several instances we have found them as much as 36 feet in the girth…perfectly solid and entire, and frequently rise to the height of 230 feet.”

Estimating the height of standing trees is never precise. However, this problem was resolved near Gresham, Oregon. While out hunting several men found a tree that had broken off, and this gave Lewis his chance to confirm the loftiness of these conifers.

“We measured a fallen tree….which was 318 feet including the stump which was 6 feet high. This tree was only about 3 1/2 feet in diameter.”

Some of the marvelous wonders Lewis and Clark saw have survived. Multnomah waterfall and Mt. Hood remain relatively unchanged; herds of elk and chest-high Sword ferns are as common as clouds. However, many natural features have been lost. The Columbia River flows murky and opaque; some industries continue to use it to discharge their wastes. The ocean is over-fished and the California Condor has been pushed into near-extinction. And that magnificent forest of towering, gigantic conifers Lewis and Clark described, has all been cut and replaced by urban sprawl, farmlands, and tree plantations.

One century from now, Lewis and Clark’s journals will become popular once again when the public recognizes the “tri-centennial” of their expedition. Future generations will read their descriptions of the Pacific Northwest, then look to see what still exists after three hundred years. It is impossible to predict what they will find. However, the native species that do survive into the next century will be largely the result to work done by organizations that acquire native habitat, restore watersheds, and protect critical lands from disruption and over-development.

Through the years

Glenn Lamb’s Muse

Twelve years ago, John and Clara Belle Chapman invited me to sit on their living room couch. By then, “C.B.” was blind from her diabetes. But she and John told me how they wanted to conserve their ten acres, an urban oasis in Brush Prairie, WA. I explained a few of their conservation options.

Ten years ago I was back on their couch. John and C.B. told me that they decided to donate five acres to Columbia Land Trust, known as Green Cathedral. We agreed to conserve the land forever.

Nine years ago the Chapmans donated those five acres to Columbia Land Trust.

Eight years ago landscape architect Patty Freeman donated her services to prepare a natural area restoration plan for the donated lands.

Eight years ago Land Trust member Wayne Rothrock died. My short essay about his battle with disease and his desire to have trees planted in his memory was read on Oregon Public Broadcasting. Hundreds of dollars were donated in his memory.

Seven years ago John Chapman joined me and 25 other volunteers as we planted hundreds of trees and shrubs on their land, including a stand of native dogwoods in memory of Wayne Rothrock. C.B. was unable to walk by then.

Four years ago I sat on the Chapman’s living room couch and visited with C.B. for the last time. She died on March 10, 2000.

One year ago I sat on the Chapman couch and visited with John for the last time. John died on February 12, 2003.

This year, the Chapman estate is being settled. John and C.B. left the Land Trust additional land for conservation. The Chapmans also made one of the most important gifts ever made to the Trust: they gave five acres of industrial land for the Trust to sell to raise money to care for their conservation lands forever.

This year, 25 Cub Scouts planted hundreds more trees and shrubs on the Chapman land. Clark Public Utilities has donated over $1,000 of labor and equipment to water the new plants.

Next year, volunteers will plant more trees to benefit wildlife, just as John and C.B. had dreamed.

Into the future, Columbia Land Trust will tend these lands forever. No matter what else comes and goes, the Land Trust will be the steady hand to ensure that the Chapman’s wishes come true.

Recent acquisition supports Grays River restoration

Conserving signature landscapes and vital habitat are at the heart of the Land Trust mission. The Land Trust takes this mission one step further with its active restoration program, ensuring that existing habitat is not further degraded, while also increasing the amount of “vital habitat” for a variety of important species.

There is wide consensus within the ecological restoration community that the most effective way to restore wetland habitat is to restore the patterns of water flow on the site to natural conditions. This cannot be done on an acre-by-acre basis, since water flows across the land without regard to human property boundaries. The Land Trust’s conservation in the Grays River watershed on the lower Columbia River in Washington is a great example of the habitat restoration work that can happen when adjacent lands are acquired on a landscape scale. Working with local farmers, landowners, and other conservation agencies, the Land Trust is conserving over 850 acres in the Grays River region. These lands, combined with lands already in conservation with organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, knit together vital salmon habitat once thought to be lost.

The recent purchase of the Johnson property is one of the final components of this project. This land, sold to the Land Trust by Robbie Johnson, will be restored to its original condition along with the neighboring properties that are already in Land Trust ownership. Robbie Johnson is a native of the Grays River area, now living in Eastern Washington. A long time supporter of the Trust, Robbie decided to sell his land in order to help restore the estuary qualities that are so vital to fish in this area.

Restoration work on this land will begin this fall. While old dikes are “breached” (or deconstructed”) the Trust will work with planners and neighbors to prevent flooding onto adjacent properties, and to determine what other activities are needed, such as filling old farm ditches and recreating old tidal swales by excavation. This work will allow salmon to return to land that is now a cow pasture.

Thanks to Robbie Johnson, and other landowners like him, we will soon be measuring the return of the salmon to this vital spawning corridor.

New additions

Scott Campbell, who joined the Columbia Land Trust Board of Directors in December 2003, is the Publisher, President and Owner of The Columbian newspaper. Scott’s interest in serving on the Land Trust’s Board of Directors stems from the Land Trust’s approach to conserving land. According to Scott, “Columbia Land Trust is one of the most effective groups I’ve ever been involved with. They leverage my gift, they directly conserve land, and they do it all with private landowners.”

Scott and his wife Jody have three sons, Ben, Will and Ross. He is very involved with community and environmental issues in this region. He is also on the boards of the Clark College Foundation, Identity Clark County, Western Communications/Bend Bulletin, and is the Chairman of the Oregon Chapter of the Young Presidents’ Organization. Scott was previously the Chair of the WSU Advisory Council, President of the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington, Co-Chair of the Southwest Washington Higher Education Consortium, and a member of the Vancouver Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, among others. Scott holds a BS from the University of Oregon School of Journalism.

Dennis Hopwood joined Columbia Land Trust’s Board of Directors in April 2004. Dennis is currently the Vice President of Human Resources for Standard Insurance Company. Dennis loves hiking and many other outdoor activities and has a strong interest in sustainability. Dennis has been a board member of Earth Share of Oregon and the Eugene Symphony Orchestra and a member of Oregon Natural Step Network. He and his wife look forward to caring for wild property they recently acquired in the Columbia River region. Dennis recently returned from his honeymoon in Paris with his wife Sharon.

Prior to joining the Land Trust Board, Dennis volunteered on the Land Trust’s Major Gifts Committee – a role that he will continue. In addition to his fundraising support, we are delighted to share in Dennis’ 30 years of human resources experience. Dennis holds a Master of Science in Higher Education Administration from the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, and a BS in Sociology from the University of Idaho.

Adventures in waders

By Kate Keck, AmeriCorps member

Salmon are an integral part of the Pacific Northwest culture and mindset. The image of salmon jumping fish ladders inspires determination; the image of salmon dying in dam turbines saddens us all. So it may seem strange that the first thing I think of when I think of salmon is mud. I don’t just mean the kind of mud in the garden after the rain. I mean slick, oozing mud, that grips your shoes when you step in it and makes a strange noise when you step out. I’ve become much more intimate with mud since I started working on the Land Trust’s water quality monitoring projects.

The purpose of our water quality monitoring is to tell us a bit about how we might make our conserved streams and rivers a little more inviting to salmon. Water quality includes factors like water temperature, which needs to be about 55°F for fish to thrive. Fish breathe by filtering the oxygen out of water as it flows past their gills. Warm water holds less oxygen, and so fish in warm water feel kind of like we do at high altitudes - just can’t get enough breath. We also measure “dissolved oxygen,” the term for the amount of oxygen in the water. In general, higher amounts of dissolved oxygen are better for fish. Warm, stagnant water quickly becomes so oxygen-poor that fish cannot survive.

Grays River near the coast in Washington is the main focus of our water quality monitoring right now, as we collect information for a fall dike breaching project. By breaching the dikes we hope to improve fish habitat by, increasing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water and reducing summer water temperatures. Three data recorders placed in streams on our properties measure water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and salinity every hour. Additionally, six smaller loggers record temperature once every hour. This is where the mud comes in.

For me, water quality monitoring means pulling on my chest waders and hearing that wonderful thick mud splash as I clamber down into the intertidal zone of the River. I slip and slide out to the data logger and carefully download the data, change the batteries, and make sure everything looks ok. It can be a long day with eight or nine loggers to tend.

I thought I understood mud until the other day when I was walking up a side channel taking readings with a hand-held data collector. The channel had a lot of beaver activity, and so I learned something new - beaver dams silt up behind them. Tip to all you stream-wading folk - don’t step into that nice shallow spot right behind the dam. I learned that lesson up over my knees in mud.

All of this may not sound like fun, but it is. The data we’re collecting (tens of thousands of points, and counting!) is going to help us make informed, intelligent decisions about how to invite salmon back to the Grays River. To me that’s worth all the days covered with sticky, smelly mud and scratches from the brush. Because ultimately, it’s those powerful, inspiring images of fish jumping waterfalls that drive us to do our best to steward these lands we’ve all helped conserve.

Auction success

Over 200 long standing members and new friends of Columbia Land Trust joined together on Earth Day (April 22, 2004) for the auction. Though they entered with empty hands, many people went home with a new kayak, canoe, vacation plan, or piece of art. The

dinner tables were crowded with good food and conversation, and the room was filled with exciting items for bid in the silent and oral auction. Under the thoughtful (and fun!) leadership of Auction Chair, Terry Cornelius, an amazing group of volunteers created an enjoyable time for all.

Writer and historian Rex Ziak was our keynote speaker. Author of the book, “In Full View: A True and Accurate Account of Lewis and Clark’s Arrival at the Pacific Ocean, and Their Search for a Winter Camp Along the Lower Columbia River,” Rex shared a fascinating glimpse of the words and vision of Lewis and Clark as they traveled along the Lower Columbia River. Rex brought the journey to life and with the warm sun streaming into the banquet hall it was easy to imagine the explorers passing through these very lands.

And then the bidding started! Auctioneer Steve Van Gordon led the way, and Trust members jumped in, bidding on birding adventures, cozy cabins, sailing trips, and more. At the end of the evening, just over $80,000 had been raised for Columbia Land Trust! The Trust also welcomed 30 new members through ticket purchases. The Land Trust extends special thanks to lead sponsor West Coast Bank, as well co-sponsors Maul Foster Alongi Inc., Shorebank Pacific, DeaMor, PGP Valuation, and Homewood Suites. Many thanks as well to all who donated an item, made a purchase, volunteered, or sent a donation. The evening was fun, but most importantly the auction proceeds will go to conserving our great lands forever!
