Trackers Earth, a Sandy and Portland based organization that runs outdoor programming, has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrests and convictions of the vandals
who burned down a picnic shelter at the Roslyn Lake Campground on Nov. 11, 2016. Tony Deis, founder
of the organization, noted that there are no current leads with the case, which
is being lead by the Oregon State Police.

Deis noted that the organization has been utilizing the site for more than
three years, first renting it and then buying it as part of 90 acres, including a
campground and the former Bull Run Elementary School building. He noted
the picnic shelter was well utilized by the organization and by numerous
families for many years before.

“It was an awesome gathering space,” Deis said. “Also just the historical part
of it, you could feel its history when you’re in there.”

Deis noted that the property’s neighbors have been supportive and trying to
keep an eye out, while the organization plans on trying to rebuild the
structure at some point.

“With good planning and the community behind us, we can make it happen,”
he said.

The organization also hopes to renovate the school to use for classes and
community events and is expected to utilize part of its 90 acres to start a local
Community Supported Agriculture program.
