Project Learning Tree
We are planning on sponsoring a project learning tree training session in Hood River
sometime this spring. If you are interested in helping with this effort please come to one of the next Exec meetings or one of the next chapter meetings. We are looking for members to do outreach at the schools.

Conservation Education
The Columbia Gorge Chapter has supported conservation education for the past four years in a row by giving a full scholarship for a local student to attend the World Forestry Center "Forestry Leadership" youth summer camp at the Magness Memorial Tree Farm.  This year the scholarship went to Tyler White, a 7th grade student from the Hood River Middle School.

2002 State Convention 
The 2002 SAF State convention will be held in Hood River and sponsored by our chapter and the Blue Mountain Chapter.  Please come and help develop the program.
