Veterinary Assistant or CVT Wanted

Tired of living in the city? Want to live where the sun shines and access to nature is right outside the door? In Burns you will find the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge just 30 miles south of the City on US 205.  The 185,000 acres provides a Mecca for bird watchers as it is the habitat for over 250 species of migratory birds.  

Another highlight is the Steens Mountain.  The mountain, a thirty-mile fault block, consists of five separate vegetation zones of glaciated gorges, lakes and meadows.  There are many viewpoints that look into canyons with more than a mile of vertical drop to the valley floor. Besides offering breathtaking scenery, you will find outdoor activities of hiking, fishing, hunting, camping and backpacking.
