Volunteering at the Jane Weber Arboretum

Monthly, we have our Second Saturday Work Party from 9am to noon. We often work on bigger projects and refreshments are always served.

Generally, our volunteers work on an area that is special to them or they just see a need to spruce things up.

We have three main volunteer areas. The Arboretum which encompasses the property grounds, The Stanger House restoration and the Caboose restoration.

• Our volunteers show up rain or shine. Extreme weather can cancel plans.

• For more information, email us at weberarboretum@gmail.com

Overview: The E. Jane Weber Arboretum is devoted to preserving this treasured natural resource and historic site in honor of Dr. Vinson and E. Jane Weber, who dedicated their homestead and lovely botanical garden to being a learning experience and inspiration – a legacy for others to cherish. To fulfill their dream, an entity was set up to oversee the arboretum and subsequently a non-profit to manage, protect and enhance this revered property along the Columbia River with outreach to the community, offering education and related activities that will be a shared commitment to the vision and purpose of the E. Jane Weber Arboretum. Watch this video for more information.

Accessibility note: the trails and grounds are natural surface and not always ADA compliant.

Spring is springing and it is time to plant some native flowers!

If the farm-to-table movement has taught us anything, it is that knowing where your food comes from can make a difference in the local community (and comes with delicious flavor!). Your microbiome–as local a community as you can get!–would also benefit from such care and attention.

• How do your immune cells get their intel?

• Who digests your food?

• Who gave your food nutrients in the first place?

Food crops not only make their own phytochemical menu that add flavor to our lives, ward off caterpillars, etc, but plants, themselves, have their very own microbiome! From mycorrhizal connections, endophytic fungi, and nodule-forming nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, the interdependent nature of nature is an inspiration.

Come for a good “gut feeling” about your microbiome, stay to hear what soil and planetary health can offer. From microorganisms to macro-nutrients, from the garden to our guts, from the latest scientific discoveries to our beliefs, we will ask the question: what is possible by cultivating diverse communities?

Learn more and get tickets HERE.

Dr. Adrienne Godschalx teaches Microbiology at Lower Columbia College to aspiring nurses. Her career path has included flowers who mimic dung aromas, bean plants who make cyanide, and farmers who reduced their agrochemical use through regenerative practices. She attributes her inspiration and successes as an educator to her early experiences at Outdoor School.

A New Tree Walk Map is Taking Root in White Salmon

White Salmon’s landscape is defined by dramatic views, vibrant neighborhoods, and an delightful diversity of trees. Now, a new community project is inviting residents and visitors to experience those trees in a whole new way.

The White Salmon Tree Board is developing a Tree Walk Map, a self-guided route highlighting notable trees throughout town. A first draft of the map will be available for public input at TreeFest on March 21, 2026 at Rheingarten Park in downtown White Salmon.

Spring in the Gorge means wildflowers, longer days, and TreeFest.

Hosted by the Underwood Conservation District (UCD), TreeFest is the lively, in-person celebration that culminates the annual Native Plant Sale. It’s part plant pickup, part community gathering, and entirely rooted in conservation.

TreeFest takes place March 21, 2026 at Rheingarten Park in downtown White Salmon.

For those new to UCD, TreeFest offers a welcoming introduction to the organization’s mission and impact.

“The native plant sale brings the community together to celebrate the beauty and importance of native plants,” says Corrie Podolak of Underwood Conservation District. “Native plants help with water quality, soil stability, support wildlife, and are adapted to our ecoregion. Some native plants in our area are also adapted to periodic fire.”

Why Native Plants Matter in the Columbia Gorge

The Columbia River Gorge is one of the most ecologically diverse regions in the Pacific Northwest. Its dramatic shifts in elevation, rainfall, and microclimates create a mosaic of plant communities found almost nowhere else.

“The Columbia Gorge is rich with native plant varieties that are ecologically unique,” Podolak explains. “Many species exist nowhere else or in very limited ranges. When we plant native plants we are matching species to the microclimates that shaped them over thousands of years.”

By choosing native plants, residents aren’t just landscaping — they’re participating in long-term ecosystem stewardship.

What to Expect at TreeFest

TreeFest is where online Native Plant Sale customers pick up their pre-ordered seedlings — but it’s much more than a pickup day.

Attendees can expect:

• Inexpensive bare-root native plants

• The opportunity to purchase single plants (even without an online order)

• Informational partner booths with valuable resources

• Music and a food cart

• Family-friendly activities

• A welcoming community of native plant lovers

“TreeFest brings UCD staff and partners all together in one friendly place,” says Podolak. “We believe conservation thrives in community—when we gather, share ideas, and inspire one another to take action.”

Even if you didn’t place an online order, you’re encouraged to attend. Everyone is welcome — and you can still shop the walk-up plant selection.

A Festival for the Whole Family

TreeFest is designed to be accessible and engaging for all ages. With music, food, partner organizations, games, and hands-on learning opportunities, it’s as much about community connection as it is about conservation.

The in-person gathering is intentional.

“It’s so much fun to see a tree grow year after year from a tiny seedling,” Podolak shares. “Planting trees is a rewarding experience that fosters hope for a greener future.”

That sense of hope — and shared action — is what makes TreeFest special each year.

Curious About Native Plants? Start Here.

If you’ve been thinking about incorporating native plants into your yard or property but haven’t taken the first step, TreeFest is the perfect place to begin.

“There are so many resources available,” Podolak says. “Start with our website and order native plants!”

UCD staff will be available to answer questions, provide guidance, and connect residents with additional educational resources and technical assistance. To stay connected after the event, community members are encouraged to sign up for the Underwood Conservation District newsletter.

TreeFest is more than a plant sale — it’s a celebration of stewardship, resilience, and the shared landscapes that define life in the Columbia Gorge.

Mark your calendar for March 21, 2026 at Rheingarten Park and come plant something that will grow for years to come.
