Ben Wells and Josh Trumbull, partners at Wells/Trumbull Personal Injury Law in Arlington, Washington State, help people with serious personal injuries. They are also passionate supporters of conservation in British Columbia, particularly in the Great Bear Rainforest. Ben has kayaked on the north central coast of B.C. along with his life partner Susan Conrad, an accomplished expeditionist, author, and photographer. Susan completed her ‘San Juan to Sitka’ kayak expedition on August 2, 2022 – a 78-day solo journey that began in Sidney, B.C. on May 24.
Ben and Josh raised an astonishing $43,113 for Pacific Wild’s Marine Protected Areas campaign between June 8 and July 31, 2022. You can read more about this successful fundraiser here.
Ben Wells: I have been a personal injury attorney since 1989. I enjoy getting to know my clients by going to their home, meeting their boss or their neighbors. I use these experiences to understand who my client is and how their life has been affected. I use these stories in court so the Jury can see for themselves the harm.
Josh Trumbull: Josh Trumbull is a renaissance man, with experience in many fields. Josh finds himself most at home when he’s solving difficult problems by combining information from different industries and disciplines to find the best possible solution. He likes to make people laugh, smile, and think about things in ways they never have before.

Double Panel Photo Poem Brian & Donna Bindon
A poem about old growth forests, and some striking photo-images by Donna Bindon of ancient cedars and sitka spruce to which to attach as an underscore or background for the poem which poses questions about humanity’s broken relationships with nature, and a plea for resumption of the ancient respect and honour for nature that we yet are capable of. I am retired and I don’t have an art business, but my past work includes freelance radio broadcasting with Park Radio in Banff, and I am working on a book with a co-author retired warden on the spiritual potency of the wild to help heal our world.

North Pacific Right Whale" 9x12 by Elena Markova @elenamarkelova_art
For every print purchased on my website, I donate $1 to One Tree Planted supporting global reforestation. Over the years I’ve been donating to different global and local wildlife associations and foundations, and it brings me joy to do small steps in making our world a better place.Thanks to my mom I realized that if you want to create something really thoughtful you should make it with love, and I put my heart into every piece that I paint. It’s my hope that you not only love my artwork, but my soul that lives within it.
Bud on this piece!
