Tierney Rouse of Portland watches as Jeremy Ojua, Tribal Native Plant
Nursery supervisor, picks a barestem biscuitroot leaf for her to taste
as they hand pull non-native plant species in a First Foods harvest area
at Champoeg State Heritage Area in St. Paul on Saturday, April 22.
About 30 volunteers participated in the <Plants for People: Restoring
First Foods Habitat= Earth Day event that was hosted by the Institute
for Applied Ecology and the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
to help restore prairie habitat. This site has been designated as an
herbicide-use exclusion area for growing culturally significant species
such as camas and yampah.
Fentanyl facts
" It9s impossible to tell if a pill bought from any place besides
the pharmacy is real.
" Counterfeit pills are made to look like prescription opioids or
stimulants.
" Don9t be fooled 4 one pill can kill.
" Illicit fentanyl is driving the recent increase in overdose deaths.
Fentanyl-involved deaths are highest and fastest growing
amongst youth.
Watch for events the week of May 8 at the Tribe to increase
your knowledge and capacity to respond. þ
