This was a little harder than our usual tree clues. Do you have the correct guess? Hint: Our California foresters might have had an easier time getting this one right.

Happy World Wildlife Day! Here are some pictures of our MB&G environmental staff out in the field monitoring peregrine falcon nests on Portland bridges and spotting western rattlesnakes, horned lizards, and burrowing owls in eastern Oregon. .

MB&G staff had a great time at the Oregon Women in Timber auction, and the Oregon Logging Conference last week. The auction raised $146,000 for forest education and the funds raised will allow the Talk About Trees program free for all schools in Oregon. At the conference, MB&G staff member Hunter Black-Priest (Kjos) volunteered to guide 54 fourth graders to separate classrooms, where they learned about careers in the forest industry (foresters, forest engineers, loggers, & wildlife biologists), trees, wood products and what a forester’s job entails. Then the kids got to go out and tour the equipment yard. In all, the Oregon Logging Conference school tours had about 500 kids come through in one day.
