Native Plant Gardening on October Tuesdays

Submitted By: lnct@nehalemtrust.org – Click to email about this post
Learn to care for native plants on Tuesdays in October! The Lower Nehalem Community Trust is in need of a few helping hands to take care of a trail that serves as an educational resource for children and our broader community. We welcome those with extensive knowledge and those seeking to learn about supporting local ecosystems through native plant gardening and landscaping.

The trail is less than 1/8 mile long, over flat ground. Activities may include bending, light lifting, and walking over uneven surfaces while tending plants. Tools and gloves will be provided. Water, shade, and restrooms are available on-site.

Where to meet:
Alder Creek Farm, Underhill Lane, Nehalem, OR 97131
*At the end of Underhill Lane, you will see a sign pointing you to ‘Alder Creek Farm’. Please continue on until you see a house opposite a grass field. Please park in the field.
What to bring:
– a water bottle (re-fill available on-site)
– sunscreen and sun-protective clothing
– weather appropriate clothing and shoes that can get dirty
– snacks or a paper-bag lunch if you’d like one!
