Natural Resources sets
traps for invasive insects
The Natural Resources Department’s Silviculture/Fire Protection
Program has erected traps to catch invasive insect species around
the Grand Ronde community.
The work is being done in coordination with the state departments
of Forestry and Agriculture.
“Over the next few weeks and months, we will be assisting with
the monitoring and data collection of the traps,” said Colby Drake,
Silviculture & Fire Protection manager.
If you see a large, purple rectangular box hanging on an ash tree,
its purpose is to attract and catch emerald ash borers. The boxes
have insect pheromones attached and are sticky.
The other traps are smaller, orange rectangular boxes that are
tied to the trunk of an oak or other hardwood tree. These traps are
designed to attract and catch European and Asian gypsy moths.
For more information, contact Drake at 503-879-2384 or colby.

Grand Ronde PAC holds
fi rst Candidates Forum
Tribal timber turned
into beam for new
Monroe brewery
MONROE – Tribal members who drive 99W between Eu-
gene and Corvallis might want to stop off at Long Timber
Brewery in Monroe, which is scheduled to open this fall.
On June 14, a crane lifted a single ridge beam 34 feet off
the ground into the structure of the under-construction
building. The Douglas fi r beam was harvested on the Grand
Ronde Reservation and measures 58 feet long and weighs
4,800 pounds. It will be in full view of brewery patrons
when the new restaurant opens.
The beam was milled at Hull Oakes Mill in Bellfountain
and is the largest of several beams included in the design
of the building, which refl ects the logging heritage of the
community, as well as the owners, Todd and Amy Nystrom,
who also own Hull Oakes Mill.
Long Timber Brewery was designed by Corvallis architect
Lori Stevens and is similar to the award-winning Monroe
Community Library, which Stevens also designed.
