Refuge headquarters

Ridgefield is headquarters of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, created by Congress in 1965 to protect Canada goose nesting grounds and a primary reserve for waterfowl on the Pacific Flyway. Lake River runs along the lowlands. Properties near wetlands and streams face critical-area rules for clearing and grading.

Deep history

The Chinookan village of Cathlapotle, occupied from 1450 and possibly part of a settlement more than 2,000 years old, held 700 to 800 people when Lewis and Clark visited. Cultural resource rules can apply near the river, and we stop and report anything that looks like an artifact.

New neighborhoods

With most homes brand new, work is finishing yards, adding shops and RV pads, fixing drainage in new subdivisions and trenching for ADUs.

Lake River lowlands

James Carty began a ferry across Lake River in 1851, and the river lowlands remain wet, low ground today. Lots that step down toward the lowlands need drainage carried to an approved outlet rather than spilling over the edge, and fill placed near the bottom of slopes has to be compacted and protected from erosion.
