Hello, from  Brad Withrow-Robinson, author of this blog. I  work for Oregon State University  Forestry & Natural Resources Extension, serving Benton,  Linn and Polk Counties.

I created Galley, Slough and Swale as a means to communicate information and share perspectives with woodland owners, farmers , conservation groups and other people interested in riparian forest management in  along the Willamette river and its major tributaries.
