On-line Auction Opening on Sunday/May 15th, 8am through Saturday/May 21st, 8pm!

We are supporting WaterWatch, our grantee for this year —  helping them with their project to remove the obsolete Lovelace Dam on Slater Creek in the Rogue Basin. It’s a critical dam, and they have coordinated with the private land owner and government entities to remove it. The removal of Lovelace Dam will provide unimpeded access to about 25 miles of high quality habitat for migratory fish. Please be ready to give generously to the Keith Hansen Memorial Paddle Raise!
