Retired Tribal Biologist for the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw and former ODFW Shellfish Biologist and Research Diver. I've lived in the Coos Bay, Oregon area all my life and have a good idea of the plants, animals and fungi that occur in my area. I'm currently propagating native plants for restoration purposes and experimenting with several species of wild Vaccinium.
