Stories from the Columbia Basin Trust
With the Trust, residents, communities and experts are supported to come together throughout the Columbia Basin to share, explore and expand ideas that contribute to a vibrant and healthy place for all to live. Some ideas are big, some ideas are small. There are ideas for now and the future; ideas for one community, many communities or the entire Basin. Working together with a shared purpose, the space to connect and access to resources and support, we see extraordinary things come to life.
Here are some of the remarkable stories of people and places from throughout the Basin.
