For love of the land, the wildlife
A little over two decades ago, Cliff and Gay Hall purchased 155 acres of overgrazed land along Maxfield Creek and the Luckiamute River in Kings Valley, Oregon, not to farm it but to restore it.
And over the years, the Halls also shared their property with Kings Valley Charter School, which is right next door.
Then in the spring of 2022, the Halls were ready to retire from their labor of love and made the most generous gift imaginable.
They gifted their beloved land to the Kings Valley Community Trust (the Trust), which also owns the school property.
Now the restoration and protection of this land and the sharing with the school and community will carry on.
In honor of the Halls, this special place is now called "Luckiamute Meadows/Hall Wildlife Refuge."
