An unusually dedicated group of students from Catlin Gabel school not only volunteer, they pay to spend a week in the woods doing forest restoration. The annual Elana Gold Project serves as a living legacy to a former student who died 15 years before. Follow a biologist down dangerous cliff faces and along 300 foot drops in a quest to identify condor nests along the Columbia. Some of the nests are over 100 years old. It's all part of a research project that may help bring the condors back to the Pacific Northwest. Fifteen years ago Oregon Field Guide reported from the crowded banks of the Deschutes river where litter and chaos ruled. Today, the scene is much quieter. But the management plan responsible for reigning in the chaos over the last decade has also had consequences for business and personal freedom.
