The end of the 2010 seed year is\u00a0finally within reach\u00a0here at the Bend Seed Extractory, and it’s bringing a mixture of excitement and relief.\u00a0 2010 was the biggest seed year on record at the BSE, more than doubling the previous record in\u00a02009.\u00a0 It’s been a daunting task and seeing the remaining seed lots dwindle down to a manageable number is a welcome sight indeed.\u00a0 Everyone here keeps looking at the latest figures and trying to figure when we’ll be done for good.\u00a0 This is especially true because the deliveries for the 2011 seed year are starting to pour in at a pretty good clip and we’d all like to get 2010 out of the way and start focusing on the new arrivals.<\/p>\n
I can’t believe that I’ve been here over a year and my time as a CLM intern is almost up.\u00a0 The internship has squeaked open some doors for me that could prove very rewarding if everything works out.\u00a0 Not the least of these is possible\u00a0future\u00a0employment with the Forest Service here in Bend, which would be awesome!<\/p>\n
This\u00a0brings\u00a0up an important point:\u00a0 Bend is\u00a0hands down the most fun place I’ve been\u00a0yet.\u00a0 From the beautiful surroundings, to the people, to\u00a0the lifestyle,\u00a0climbing, biking, hiking, lakes, rivers,\u00a0mountains, desert, forests and on and on and on…\u00a0\u00a0 I’m in the best shape of my life and it’s all because there’s so much fun stuff to do around here.\u00a0 This is\u00a0THE LIFE, and I hope I can figure out a way to stick around here for a while!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
