The Daily Astorian The Daily Astorian The Buoy 10 summer coho and Chinook salmon ishery at the mouth of the Columbia River opens Monday. Thousands of anglers will descend on the region over the next few weeks, with a return of nearly one million fall Chi- nook salmon predicted. This year, the state Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife low- ered the steelhead bag limit to one per day from the mouth of the Columbia to Pasco, Washington, to help protect the endangered species des- tined for the Snake River. This restriction will be in effect Monday through Dec. 31 from Buoy 10 to the Bon- neville Dam; Sept. 1 through Dec. 31 from Bonneville Dam to McNary Dam; and Nov. 1 through Dec. 31 from McNary Dam to the Highway 395 Bridge in Pasco. The state also changed reg- ulations regarding retention of hatchery Chinook on mark-se- lective ishing days down- stream of Bonneville Dam. Fish caught on those days may have a clipped adipose or a left-ventral in, but must have a healed scar at the location of the clipped in. Open dates, bag limits and other regulations for Colum- bia River salmon seasons vary by location on the river and can be found on the state Department of Fish and Wild- life’s website at http://tinyurl. com/yeqz8tn Bonamici to hold town hall in Seaside The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici is hold- ing a town hall meeting from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Clatsop Community College’s South County Campus, Rooms 2 and 3, 1455 N. Roosevelt Drive. She will provide an update on her work in Congress and take questions from residents. “It’s important to hear directly from my constituents,” Bonamici said in a statement. “Town hall meetings provide a great opportunity to discuss issues facing the residents of the diverse district I am hon- ored to represent. Constitu- ents always provide valuable feedback and new ideas that inform my work in Washing- ton, D.C.” Bonamici staff members will be available to assist any- one experiencing problems with federal agencies. W A NTED Alder and Maple Saw Logs & Standing Timber N orth w es t H a rdw oods • Lon gview , W A Contact: Steve Axtell • 360-430-0885 or John Anderson • 360-269-2500 By linking 3,500 acres of conserved areas, Bone- yard Ridge — which encom- passes an entire watershed — creates a habitat corri- dor, connecting wildlife pop- ulations separated by human activities. “The way we will manage it, the trees will get bigger and older and there will be a greater diversity within the forest understory,” Voelke said. After decades of commer- cial logging, the property’s current forest has trees from 10 to 60 years old, Voelke said. The land conservancy plans to take “stewardship actions that lead to an old, complex rainforest” where native plants and animals can thrive. Boneyard Ridge is home to 2 miles of salmon-bearing streams, amphibians such as red-legged frogs and Colum- bia torrent salamanders, and mammals that include black bears and elk. About 90 bird species — including pileated woodpeckers, olive-sided lycatchers, bald eagles and rufous hummingbirds — live or make a migration stopover at Boneyard Ridge. Wildlife species at Ecola State Park, including black bears and lying squirrels, could use the Boneyard Ridge habitat as well. The purchase was funded with a $524,000 grant from the Oregon Water- shed Enhancement Board, $500,000 from an anony- mous donor, and contribu- tions from more than 120 additional donors. North Coast Land Con- servancy has worked to con- serve Boneyard Ridge in partnership with Lewis and Clark Timberlands since 2011. In March, North Coast Land Conservancy signed a purchase and sales agreement with GreenWood Resources and had raised $1.1 million. Since then, they have raised the last $200,000 needed to make the purchase. Voelke emphasized the land’s accessibility — one can see it driving on High- way 101. Within the next few years, the land conservancy will work to create a system of trails. “We’re really excited about being able provide trails and recreation so close to town for residents,” Voelke said. “We feel like this can be a new, super special place for people who call it home … This is something we all get to have now forever.” Volunteer Pick of the Week Bob SHANGHAIED 3-Year Old Pit Terrier Blend Innocent and dear as childhood games.
