For nearly three decades, Nancy Russell was the driving force of Friends of the Columbia Gorge. She led the efforts to create the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area in l986 and was later instrumental in ensuring the public purchase of over 38,000 acres of land and personally purchasing over 40 properties to protect them from development. Her legacy to Gorge landscapes is incalculable.
