SUMMARY:Hidden Gems of the Columbia River Gorge: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Join the WSU Extension Clark County Master Gardener program for an On the Road Tour\, September 16\, 2026\, and leave the driving to us! Our day will include exploring the rich history\, native restoration\, serene landscapes\, and vibrant flora of the Columbia River Gorge.\n \nOur first stop is the St. Cloud Day Use Area. Discover the history of the land and learn about the orchard rehabilitation efforts\, including DNA genetic testing of the fruit trees. Explore areas actively being restored with native plant species.\n \nNext\, we’ll visit Sams Walker Day Use Area where we will learn about a historic homestead\nthat is being restored back into a thriving native flower habitat. We will also explore the\nsurrounding oak tree forest and learn about the role of controlled burns in ecosystem\nmanagement.\n \nBring your own sack lunch to unwind and enjoy amidst the dramatic backdrop of Beacon Rock and the Columbia River Gorge.\n \nAfter lunch we’ll visit Columbia Gorge Landscape where we will learn about the soothing practice of Forest Bathing (Forest Therapy). Descend a winding downhill path to a magnificent 400-year-old Douglas Fir\, explore garden spaces\, and learn about future conservation goals. (Perennials may be available for purchase). We will wrap up the trip with a visit to J & J Flowers\, a local dahlia farm. Hear the story behind the creation of the farm and\, if available\, pick up fresh cut dahlias or tubers to take home!\n \nTerrain will be uneven and bumpy\, with steep steps — please wear sturdy\, supportive walking shoes or hiking boots. Weather in the Gorge can change quickly! Dress in layers and prepare for all weather possibilities (rain jacket\, sun protection\, etc.) Bring your own drink\, snacks\, and a sack lunch. September 16. Meet at the 78th Street Heritage Farm at 8:15am and return at 3:45pm. Cost: $40 (plus tax\, fees). Register here. For more information: (564) 397-5738 or Erika.d.johnson@wsu.edu.
