Here is a hopeful note for those who love nature but still wonder if it's possible to stop the endless, mindless development on or near wild places: A state agency has just rejected plans for an RV park next to a wildlife refuge on Oregon's south coast, thanks to work done by the Friends of Bandon Marsh.
The fight is not over - it never is. The price for preserving nature is eternal vigilance.
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread,
places to play in and pray in
where nature may heal and cheer
and give strength to the body and soul.

Meanwhile, SEA (Shoreline Education for Awareness) has room for two National Docents to live in the Bandon Marsh NWR Bunkhouse next year in exchange for 20 hours per week. The bunkhouse is a modern 5 bedroom, manufactured home upgraded to Federal safety standards and completely equiped with a gormet kitchen, laundry facilities and two full baths.
If you have an interest in being a National Volunteer send an e-mail to Bill-R@SEA-edu.org for more information.
