Colockum station gets new lease on life under county’s management

"Washington State University may have unloaded it, but the Colockum Research Station will continue to be a gathering place for students as it has been for nearly half a century.

WSU gave up its nearly 50-year lease for the sprawling area south of Wenatchee late last year because of state budget cuts. Chelan County took over the lease, recently renamed it the Colockum Natural Resource Center, and is developing a new plan for the site."
