August has been a pleasant surprise for us here at the Lakeview BLM office. With the continuing drought and our bad luck earlier in the season, we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to meet our collection goal for SOS this year. How wrong we were! Now we are just two collections away from meeting our collection goal and we haven’t even collected from any of the shrubs yet. And we even got some rain here in Lakeview. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come, like actually having water in the lakes and not having as many fires. Other than that, I’m still doing my job and having a blast here in Oregon. Until next time!
