The piles of felled logs along the roadsides dwarf the passing cars, signaling to drivers that this town was built on logging. Many Naselle residents have family roots in the forestry sector, allowing them to be intimately familiar with its demands.

Here are a few ideas that may help your garden flourish: Vegetable gardens need at least six hours of sun.
