Water

Collect Rain Water

I will use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs because in summer a drop for me may be one less for salmon, which then warms streams or can impair salmon streamflows.

Do Nature Activities

    Pineapple! We cannot grow it locally in the PNW due to our cold, rainy climate. :(
