Help the Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative and Lane County Parks remove invasive Scotch broom at the North Jetty of the Siuslaw River Park on Saturday, March 28 from 10 AM to Noon. We will be working on an area that is very close to the parking area on flat, sandy slopes and/or along the road near the parking area. Bring closed-toe shoes, work gloves, water, and snacks. Please bring shovels, hand saws, or loppers if you have them. If you don’t, ODRC will have tools you can borrow.

As you know, the weather on the Oregon coast can be quite varied. One day it can be nice and sunny, which we are hoping for on the 28th, the next day it can be stormy. Dress for the weather! If it is sunny or misting, we will be working, if it is a storm, we will cancel. We will make the best call that we can Friday afternoon, the 27th. Check back here or our Facebook page, Save The Oregon Dunes, for updates.

The Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative’s mission is to collaboratively support, guide and promote Oregon dunes restoration and the preservation of the open sand, unique habitats, and dunes processes that benefit the plants, animals and people who live and play in this special place.
