    Discover the Spirit of Theodore Roosevelt – January 26, 2012, 7:00pm – Mid-Columbia Library Kennewick

    Scott and Pamela Woodward will be presenting a program on their recent trip to the Dakotas.

    In summary the primary motivation for the trip was to search for the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt by visiting the site of his conservation revelations at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial National Park in North Dakota. He also spent time in the Black Hills of South Dakota so we continued our quest hiking and camping in Badlands NP (Franklin Roosevelt), SD, Mt Rushmore which has captured a likeness of TR, Wind Cave NP SD, Jewel Cave NM SD and Devils Tower NM WY. all of which were established during Theodore Roosevelt's administration.

    Nasty weather added to the adventure in TRNP and shortened our stay but the storm induced lighting and rain enriched soil brought out tremendous early fall colors creating viewscapes that are certainly inspirational in the 21st century and no doubt stirred the inner buffalo of Theodore Roosevelt as he explored the plateaus, ridge tops and drainages of the Little Missouri in Western North Dakota.

    The Tapteal Greenway is the 30-mile corridor along and including the Yakima River extending from Kiona Bend at Benton City to the mouth of the river at Bateman Island in Richland. This corridor includes a complex mix of federal, state, county, municipal, and private ownerships as well as a variety of habitats ranging from arid shrub-steppe to lush emergent marshlands. The Yakima River and watershed is recognized as one of the most diverse, scenic, and biologically productive systems in the entire Pacific Northwest.

    The Tapteal Greenway Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1995 with the missions of preserving the rustic character of the lower Yakima River, protecting native habitats and species through conservation, enhancing recreational opportunities throughout the corridor, providing outdoor education programs, and promoting public access to and understanding of these resources.

    The Association operates through two primary channels --

    The Tapteal Greenway Association is a 100% volunteer organization driven by the Membership and the Board of Directors and funded solely by member dues, donations, and grants. The Greenway employs no staff and has no endowment.
