McKenzie River Trust Buys Former Timber Land

Wikimedia

Where chain saws once roared, only the sounds of the McKenzie River can be heard.

And that's the way things are likely to stay for a very long time. 

The McKenzie River Trust just closed a deal to buy a chunk of land along the river, near the community of Blue River, from a timber company. 

Trust Executive Director Joe Moll joins us with details of the deal, and an overview of the work the trust performs in protecting the McKenzie watershed.
