It's interesting to see the perspectives that newcomers bring to North Central Washington. They see things with fresh eyes that may have escaped the attention of those of us who have been here for many years.

There's an exciting new project being launched in the upper reaches of the Wenatchee River that will create a shared vision for 38,000 acres of forest land recently acquired by Weyerhauser.

More than 150 people crowded into the conference room at Pybus Public Market Thursday evening to hear local experts talk about why it’s important to respect trail closures in the Wenatchee foothills to give wintering mule deer room to roam.

For Wenatchee’s fifth-graders, it happens every year. Just a quick trip from their everyday classroom and they are in the greatest classroom of all, a world begging to be explored.

For those of us who have grown up with a lifelong love of the outdoors, it might seem unimaginable that some of Wenatchee's children don't feel like our landscape is relevant to them.

Hikers, runners, mountain bikers and dog walkers--mostly well-intentioned--who stray into sections of the Wenatchee foothills that are closed for the winter will be the target of an educational talk on mule deer Thursday at Pybus Public Market at 6:30 p.m.

Hanne Beener and Sharon Lunz talk about trails and the CDLT survey on the KOHO Radio Outdoor Report.

WENATCHEE — Chelan-Douglas Land Trust and the City of Wenatchee hope to begin work on a new Saddle Rock trailhead and outdoor education center late this fall or early 2016.

Land Trust Executive Director Bob Bugert updated the Wenatchee School Board on the plan at the board’s meeting Tuesday and thanked members for the Land Trust’s ongoing partnership with the district that has made the project possible.

Bluebird skies, warming temperatures, and snow-free terrain might have you itching to hike your favorite trail.

A mild winter and warm spring-like weather is enticing people to venture onto foothills trails that are still closed to the public for another two months to protect mule deer.

We are thrilled to share the news that two major land protection projects were completed last week, safeguarding two diverse but equally strategic and critical natural areas forever!
