Introducing Elaine

Hello friends and supporters,

I'm just wrapping up my first month as the new Executive Director, so I want to introduce myself to you. I'm a Missouri farm-girl, born and raised outside of Kansas City, Missouri. I spent seven years on active duty in the Coast Guard where my primary duties were driving motor lifeboats, fisheries enforcement, and law enforcement. After my time in the USCG and graduating with my BA in criminal justice, I became a military spouse and began the (very) regular transfers to new stations with my husband. We welcomed our son, David, while stationed in Door County, Wisconsin, and our daughter, Kathryn, during our second tour in Depoe Bay, Oregon.

All that moving was challenging, but it gave me the opportunity to jump into new fields and new career paths regularly, so my background has a lot of variety. The Estuary Partnership speaks to my personal values related to climate change, the environment and the people of the Columbia region, and I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with this talented and dedicated group of professionals to advance science and education in the lower Columbia.

Welcome Molly

We are pleased to introduce Molly Gonzales, our new Executive Assistant, and welcome her to our team! Molly also comes to us from Cowlitz County, where she served as the Operations and Project Manager for the Building and Planning Department. She managed land use, environmental and construction permitting, as well as a wide variety of community outreach programs. Prior to that, Molly worked as a paralegal in personal injury and family law. She has also served on the Cowlitz County Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors as well as their Family Support Committee. She loves spending time with her family and being outside. Outside of work, Molly can be found outdoors doing anything that involves the sun and being on or near the water, on urban hikes with her husband, or planning their next adventure.

Steigerwald Reconnection Project Updates

The second year of the Steigerwald Reconnection Project began on June 1 and is well underway. The contractors have begun restoration of the site's wetlands and floodplains and are constructing the two new setback levees. Crews are raising SR 14, and the new meandering Gibbons Creek channel already looks much improved with its wood habitat structures and spawning gravel. 

You can find regular blog posts on the work at Steigerwald at Refuge2020.info or by following #SteigerwaldReconnectionProject on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter

Photos from the Field

Summer means lots of time in the field for our Monitoring Team. Sarah, Sneha, and Paige (a COVID-summer addition who is usually busy on our Education Team) along with staff from CREST, spend many weeks in wetlands throughout the lower river. They track conditions and plant communities at reference sites-relatively undisturbed wetlands-and sites that have been restored in recent years. Here are a few shots of them at the Wallooskee River near Astoria, Steamboat Slough near Skamokawa, and at Steigerwald where they completed pre-restoration data.
