Articles & Editorials Written by Dr. Bob Zybach

Cristy Rein has been Publisher and Chief Editor of Oregon Fish & Wildlife Journal since its founding, more than 40 years ago. The Journal doesn't publish an online version of their magazine for business and advertising reasons, but has a focused distribution of about 10,000, "including all members of Congress and 1,000 doctors, lawyers, and business waiting rooms across rural Oregon." The large number of loyal advertisers are heavily represented by family-owned logging, trucking, sawmilling, nursery, landscaping and construction businesses.
