MidCoast's upcoming volunteer day on Friday April 18th will be at the NORP Nursery in Tillamook. We'll be participating in their "Nurturing Natives" seedling thinning event, and we'd love to have you join us! We plan to leave Newport at 8 AM and return at 2:30 PM. Since this event is in Tillamook we will be carpooling from the MidCoast office, but people are welcome to meet us at their nursery as well at 10 AM.
The Northwest Oregon Restoration Partnership (NORP) supports the restoration efforts of more than 30 organizations by coordinating the propagation and distribution of over 75,000 native plants annually for landscape-scale watershed restoration projects implemented by its partners on private, state, and public lands. We’re thankful to work with them!
MidCoast Volunteer Day- Supporting Our Partners
Location: NORP Nursery in Tillamook
Time: 8 AM - 2:30 PM
What to Bring: Wear hiking boots or rubber boots and dress in layers to prepare for varying weather conditions. Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. We will provide snacks and tools.
If you are interested in participating, please let Natalie (natalie@midcoastwc.org) know so I can arrange adequate carpooling for the day! Please note- **Attendees must be over 18**
NORP Nursery Directions- Go north on Hwy 101, and turn right (east) at the flashing yellow light onto Long Prairie Rd. Just past the railroad tracks, turn right onto Blimp Blvd. On Officer Row, take Blimp Blvd south for about 1/4 mile and turn left (easy left, not hard left). Pass by the Oregon Youth Authority facility parking lot (on the left), then turn left once you get to the Officer's mess hall. Continue until you arrive at a large gravel pull-out with a greenhouse. Park along the long side of the greenhouse.
