Looking at the 10-day weather forecast (sun, sun, sun and more sun) this seems like a good week to explore Xeriscaping in Southern Oregon.
What is xeriscaping? Hint – it’s also known as low water use landscaping, water-conserving landscaping, drought-tolerant landscaping and smart scaping.
With the East Evans Creek Fire burning close to our backyards, many questions and concerns are popping up on social media, and in person, about how these fires affect our wildlife. First off, forget those “Bambi” images, most of the wildlife will be fine. Lots of wildlife can actually thrive as a result of wildfires, some species even depend on it.
This week we continue our virtual meet and greet with the Black Bear (Ursus americanus). If you missed Part I, you can catch up before you continue with Part II.

This week we’ll explore tree fruits we can grow in Oregon. We’ll be a bit selfish this time around and focus on our own area.
Shady Cove City Council got a lot done in their 30-minute July 2 meeting.
At the start of the meeting Mayor Lena Richardson made two adjustments to the agenda. First, she moved the appointment of a new planning commissioner up so the notary “would not have to stay for the entire meeting”. Second she added an item under new business titled “A personnel issue.”
