	John Wilks channeled the Spirit of the Blue Goose...	and we appreciated it, that suit was hot and stuffy.
	Then we drove down to the City of Sherewood where we visited Sherewood Park...	and learned of the partnership between the new Tualatin NWR and the city in planning a sustainable environment...
	and took a walk along their boardwalk through the riparian habitat along the creek.	Sherewood, Oregon The planning department of Sherewood should be a model for development everywhere; the development set-backs from the many creeks that run through the community provide watershed conservation areas as well as pathways for both humans and animals. This is what sustainable living looks like, when watersheds upstream of refuges are protected, every organism benefits.
	Refuge Manager Ralph Webber explains the habitat restoration plan of the Tualatin NWR....	..to an audience of the Caravaners and the Friends of the Tualatin NWR. The establishment of the refuge was driven by local Audubon Society members and others that formed the core of the very active friends group. After the talk we caravaned over to the refuge HQ for a delicious pot-luck dinner provided by the Friends of the Tualatin NWR and Tim gave the slide/video program during dinner.
