Our valley’s climate displays the variations among the seasons so very well. From the first push of a seed poking up through the soil’s crust in Spring, to rambunctious blooming of so many flowers of Summer, to the final few crispy leaves fluttering to ground in late Autumn, and then the unseen regrowth happening under the frost and snow in Winter, preparing to start again in Spring.

There is so much to experience in our gardens.

And while this goes on in unending cycles, critical insects quietly and surreptitiously influence all the progress being made.

On October 25th, the WSU Master Gardeners of Yakima County will present two experts who will share the challenges and successes that some of our favorite insects have in our gardens.
Following them you will have the rare opportunity to enjoy the work of a world-renowned garden architect and plantsman as we follow him through “Five Seasons, the Gardens of Piet Oudolf.”

Healthy rivers and salmon are vital to our way of life in the Pacific Northwest, but Columbia Basin salmon, steelhead, and other native fish are in crisis. Most wild salmon and steelhead runs persist at a fraction of their historic abundance and geographic distribution, and some (including three of five in the Snake River) persist at less than one percent of their historic abundance. Our region’s future is at stake, and our advocacy is more important now than ever.
Join Save Our wild Salmon Coalition on Zoom in taking collective action to protect salmon and defend the historic progress made towards salmon recovery by attending a virtual salmon advocacy action hour, occurring on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 12:30-1:30pm AND 5:30-6:30pm PT (afternoon and evening sessions are identical).
Join to hear updates from experts on issues impacting salmon recovery and the health of the Columbia/Snake Rivers, ask questions, and, most importantly, get resources and information about how you can take action NOW. We will provide resources and support for all levels of salmon advocates, whether you want to take quick online action, like contacting your representative or submitting a public comment, or spend more time on your advocacy by writing a letter to the editor or hosting a postcard-writing party.
