“Imagine yourself in a shade house on a sunny afternoon in the Tillamook valley. You can smell the ocean on the cool sea breeze and the soil feels cool on your fingers as you carefully untangle the braided roots of seedlings. Multiple salmonberry seeds sprout in the same tube, creating fierce competition for space to grow. To preserve the effort of every seed, you separate them into their own pots and give them the space they need to thrive. The comforting hum of conversation and laughter from the volunteers working next to you, combined with the meaningful work of seedling thinning, is enough to keep you focused for hours.”
