Welcome Sadie Kennedy to the show!

Sadie joins us from Wallowa County where she serves as a mother of 4, business owner, lawyer and the Executive Director of the Wallowa History Center.

We were able to hold the interview at the historic forest service ranger station that is now the History Center. Sadie has a wealth of knowledge about Wallowa County and how the valley was settled. She serves as an incredible representative of the area and the members of Wallowa community.

We were so pleased to meet her and learn more about the programs and resources the Wallowa History Center has to offer.

Welcome back to the show!

We had the pleasure of talking with Vic Coggins, a retired Wildlife Biologist who resides in Northeastern Oregon. Vic talked with us about his career and his adventures whilst navigating various controversial topics amongst sportsman's groups and policy. He played a large roll in the reintroduction of sheep and goats to Wallowa County and includes all the data points and experiences of this event in his book " Memoirs of a Backcountry Bio- 50 years managing Wallowa County Wildlife."

His advice to the younger generation is to get outside, be in touch with the landscape you are responsible for, and be a worthy representative of the species that surround you. If you are interested in hearing more about his career and a life of a biologist give this episode a listen!
