Welcome
The Columbia County Extension Service is your link to Oregon State University. OSU provides research-based information in the areas of Home Gardening, Small Farms, Forestry, 4-H Youth, Family and Nutrition.
Our office plublishes four newsletters: Country Living (gardening and farming topics), Tall Timber Topics (forestry/wood lots), Columbia Columns (for 4-H members and leaders), and Healthy Families (food, finance, family). If you would like to receive these newsletters by mail, please give the office a call.

As the devastation of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami become more evident, those of us who live along the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire" wonder if we'll be prepared for an equally destructive quake and its tsunami that could come to our doorsteps at any time. Please visit:
