Donations to Columbia land Trust and Ducks Unlimited destroy habitat.

Pictures speak volumes. Beware when you donate to any environmental organization you could be helping destroy what you thought you were saving.

Once Upon a time life in the Grays' River Valley was Bliss. Children learned about how food is grown. They helped their Nanny plant vegetables to share with many.

Life was good, organic vegetables grew, children ate as they wandered among the wonders of growing things.

Along came Columbia Land Trust partnering with Ducks Unlimited infiltrating the valley. Spewing smoke into the air, burning buildings (old homesteads) with lead and asbestos filling the air with toxins.






CLT and DU bring in the Monsters to destroy more.

This is the company who helps destroy peoples lives, farms, agriculture, habitat, and homes.

Big River Rock destroying hundred year old orchards and building a wing dike without permits to divert water into homes and private property.







This guy after talking with him and telling him no permits exist seemed concerned. He seems to be only trying to make a living. He is being used to destroy.



Another approach to destroy lives is theses culverts placed under a county road.

Columbia Land Trust removed a 36inch tide gate and replaced it with two - 13 foot culverts redirecting the Seal Slough, which increase the velocity and speed of water eroding several private properties. These culverts also flood a county road.




Salmon (fall Chinook endangered fish) are being redirected into hay fields where they are unable to spawn, the fish become coyote and bird food. This salmon is in my hay field. How does this benefit salmon?

This was once a county road that led to the Grays' River, many people in the community enjoyed walking, biking and picking wild berries, territorial apples, and plums along this picturesque tranquil road.

That was before Columbia Land Trust without permits destroyed the road by turning it into a wing dike. The road was built up seven feet, then eleven feet, and now is being built up thirteen feet. This decreases the flood way from several thousand acres into a mere 80 acres causing water from the Grays' River to funnel into private property, destroying farms, agriculture, homes, and lives, the water then floods SR4 closing the state hwy for days.

As you can see the velocity of water is so great that it washes the wing dike out each year. This year Wahkiakum County is using FEMA funds to help Columbia Land Trust raise this road again. Blair Brady a Wahkiakum County Commissioner in this district has sought the removal of Columbia Land Trust's "project" sighting hydrologists reports and CLT's own model which proves the "project" is destroying private property, Dan Cothren one of the other county commissioners is a Ducks Unlimited guy and Lisa Marsyla thinks CLT and DU are just so nice..


Columbia Land Trust's alterations, redirecting of Seal Slough and channeling the Grays' River into my home causes three foot waves to hit house. The house sits seven feet above the driveway water is 13.6 feet deep on the driveway when the water crested there was four feet in the house.

My home is 72 years old, CLT has lied and said this home has always flooded, if that were true the home could not be still standing, in fact the home is in better shape then some. I have a letter from the grandson of the people who built the house saying water was never in the house. My home as have many in this valley suffered greatly since CLT came to destroy our lives.

Six inches of mud is left to shovel after intentional flooding of my home.

1946 Willy's was completely mechanically restored in the loafing shed what was a safe area before CLT. This is just one of the many restored classics destroyed by CLT.

Floating vehicles, the blue is/was a 79 Mercedes Benz. Three foot waves come from CLT's "project".


Agricultural fields lay wasted, gardens are no longer an option, cattle have been removed as they can no longer graze as they had for over a hundred years. Farm animals had to be given away for their safety.

The ecosystem has been compromised that not even snakes dwell as they once did. Coyotes are thriving on salmon diverted into what was once hay fields.

This beautiful valley is under siege without any checks and balances. The officials refuse to come out and look at what has been done. David Martin, Army Corps of Engineers stated on 8-09-09 at 10:20am that these people have a stellar record, how does he know this, he gets his information from the agencies doing the damage. Everyone refuses to see what has been done.

Columbia Land Trust Destroying America by Land acquisitions, Lies, and Greed!

Columbia Land Trust can NOT be trusted.
