Land deal good for history, ecology

Lewis & Clark National Historical Park has been good for the environment It is good news when habitat is conserved and enhanced. It's especially heartening when conservation is linked to history.

Lewis & Clark National Historical Park runs their shuttle buses on a blend of biodiesel manufactured by the local school. A partnership was formed between Astoria High School, Sunset Empire Transportation District, the Port of Astoria, and the park, which results in 276 gallons of biodiesel made from waste vegetable oil generated in the local community.
