[obol] Tualatin River NWR

[Paula Vanderheul]

Hello Everyone,

This morning Marcia Cutler and I visited the Tualatin River NWR for the first time.  We walked all the trails around the open public use Arfalat'i Unit.  We enjoyed the walk exploring all the different habitats.  Great benches, study stations, bridges, viewing platforms along the trails.  I'm looking forward to returning when the wetlands become a gathering place for winter waterfowl.
