The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is planning a timber sale near the elk-feeding station on Old Auburn Road southwest of Baker City, with a goal of spurring the growth of grass and shrubs that elk, deer and other wildlife eat. “The objective for the project is basically winter range enhancement for big game and wildlife, to reduce the timber stands to create early stage grass,” said Dan Marvin, who manages ODFW’s Elkhorn Wildlife Area. kAm%92E’D :?4=F56D `_ D:E6D[ 2=@?8 E96 62DE6C?

Baker County voters might have another chance this November to approve a property tax levy to help control noxious weeds.
