Please join us from 9am-1pm at the Conservation Nursery located at Beaver Creek State Park.

The weather is calling for cloudy and dry but always come prepared with rain gear just in case. If you have taller rain boots please bring them, some folks will be harvesting willow and spirea from the creek for processing.

Please push open the gate (it will be unlocked), close it behind you, and drive all the way down the dirt road until you get to the nursery.

We will be meeting from 9 am - 1 pm on the site to remove as much invasive Tansy Ragwort as possible. This invasive plant is known to dominate open fields when conditions are right, so we are trying to pull it before it goes to seed to spread further. The area we will be working is in recovery from the 2020 Echo Mountain Fire, and the Tansy is growing through the reforestation effort.

The meeting location will be: 2371 Salmon River Hwy, Otis, OR 97368

Please park along the road near Salmon River Mobile Village, and we have a short walk to the site from there. Please bring gloves and water, and we will have snacks and all necessary supplies.

Email tom@midcoastwc.org with questions.

We will be hosting a volunteer planting party at the Bummer Creek restoration project, where we will be planting native trees in the new floodplain and reconnected habitats. We will be meeting at the site at 9 and wrap up around 1, and transportation can be arranged if needed. We will arrange a carpool from Waldport the morning of the event for people coming from the coast.

In collaboration with OPRD, we are going to collect kinnikinnick cuttings for an Oregon State Park project. We will meet at 9 AM at the South Beach State Park Day Use parking lot. After collecting there, we’ll head over to Driftwood Beach State Recreation Site. Once we have the number of cuttings we need, that will be the end of the work day. Depending on how many folks show up, it could be a short day.
