Klickitat Wildlife Area Burn Piles: The Department of Natural Resources
forester issued a burn permit for the Klickitat Wildlife Area to burn the 22
piles of debris that were consolidated with the help of the WCC crew this summer.
Conditions have been good lately for this activity so Manager VanLeuven hopes
to complete this activity soon as part of the fire hazard reduction effort on
the Wildlife Area.

Diversity Division
Watchable Wildlife: Large flocks of lesser Sandhill cranes are feeding
in the Woodland Bottoms as they move south to wintering areas. The birds have
a distinctive call and flight pattern that are great fun to watch and hear.
They are easily observed from the Dike Access road in the Woodland Bottoms.

Management Division
St. Helens Land Access Program: So far this year, just under 50 volunteers
have signed up as WDFW volunteers and participated in facilitating weekday motorized
access to the northern portion of the Weyerhaeuser St. Helens Tree Farm during
special permit elk hunts. Hunters have been very appreciative of the effort
and volunteers from many volunteer groups have enjoyed the opportunity. The
volunteer groups participating in the program include SW Land Access Coalition,
Cowlitz Game and Anglers, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Eyes in the Woods,
Yacolt Burn Sportsmen Club, Vancouver Wildlife League, WA State Archer Association,
and WA State Bowhunters. We would like to thank all of the volunteers for all
their time and effort and look forward to continuing to work collaboratively
in implementing a safe and successful program.
