For another year a giant smiley face has appeared on the hillside along
Highway 18 between Willamina and Grand Ronde, on the left, just
west of the Willamina exit. The eyes and mouth are Douglas fir trees
and the yellow trees are western larch. The land is owned by Hampton
Tree Farms.
Thank you,
Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
