I am a friend of Steve Strauss and am looking for a one- or two-bedroom rental property in or near Corvallis (space to garden is a plus!). I work from home as an editor for an educational publisher. I have one sweet kitty and am hoping to move in March. I can pay up to $1,800/month. Thanks so much for any tips you might have! Contact DeeDee Hughes

With thanks to Art Wall team coordinator Isabel Prusinski, the Sanctuary is currently hosting a collection of pictures from local amateur (!) photographers Larry and Sharon Rosenkoetter. Both are retired from OSU; photographing wildlife is one of their loves. About their photos they say: ” The US and Canada are richly blessed with public spaces where wildlife can thrive, thanks to our ancestors who had the foresight to save lands for wildlife as well a for nature-loving people. We emphatically believe that in this time of climate change our generation must continue to combat forces that would destroy the essential habitats for vunerable creatures.” The photographs are for sale for $150 each. From more information about purchasing, see the information posted in the Sanctuary just inside the door from the foyer.
