Ravenwood Acres
Welcome to Ravenwood Acres we are located in Southwest Washington State on a 5 acre parcel of land. Since the summer of 2016 we have been converting a nonproductive property in to a homestead. Our goals are to increase our food security, health, and well being by reconnecting to the land. Follow us as we pursue our goals and share our wins and losses.

Watch Duty is a real-time wildfire information app designed to keep communities informed and safe. It’s powered by volunteers, many of whom are experienced firefighters, radio operators, and first responders who monitor scanner traffic, government alerts, and official reports. The app provides live updates, including fire locations, evacuation notices, road closures, and weather conditions, all displayed on an interactive map.

Benefits of raised beds.
Raised garden beds offer several benefits for growing plants. Some of the main benefits include:
- Improved drainage: Because raised garden beds are constructed above the ground, they can improve drainage and prevent waterlogging, which can be harmful to plants.
- Better soil quality: Raised garden beds allow you to create a custom soil mixture that can be tailored to the specific needs of your plants. This can result in healthier, more vigorous growth.
- Increased accessibility: Raised garden beds can be built at a comfortable height for gardening, making it easier for people of all ages and abilities to tend to their plants.
- Pest and weed control: Because raised garden beds are isolated from the surrounding ground, they can be more resistant to pests and weeds.
- Efficient use of space: Raised garden beds can be a great option for small gardens or for growing plants in urban areas. They can be placed on a patio, balcony, or even on a rooftop.
- Extending the growing season: Raised garden beds can also be used to extend the growing season by providing a warmer environment for plants, which can be particularly useful in cooler climates.

Each time we have a large scale disaster people start talking about what we could have done to mitigate the disaster. However, for those impacted by the disaster their only current concern is immediate life saving assistance. Fortunately, many are getting this assistance thanks to amateur radio equipment and some operators. Licensed or not many people are using simple analogue two-way handheld radios to call for help. I applaud them for knowing how to get on their local repeater frequency and get the emergency help they need.
