Phase II of the project began in 2019 when the Columbia Land Trust used this grant to purchase approximately 2,700 acres, which straddles the Wild and Scenic Klickitat River from river mile 37.5 to 38.5 and includes 1.7 miles of two major tributaries - Summit and White Creeks. Its unusual topographic and ecological diversity includes a mosaic of dry and moist mixed conifer forests, oak woodlands, aspen, freshwater wetlands, steep canyons, talus slopes, and riparian and river habitats.

Patagonia Films’ Daughter of the Sea follows Jaeyoun, who leaves her island home in South Korea to pursue a more traditional career path in Seoul. But as her mental health begins to unravel and depression sets in, she decides to join the haenyeo, Jeju Island’s famed “women of the sea.” For centuries, these free divers and fisherwomen—some in their 80s—have dived more than 30 feet to gather seafood for their families and villages. Following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, Jaeyoun learns what it means to become a haenyeo and why returning to the ocean ultimately saves her. Content Warning This film includes discussions of depression and suicide.
