Manzanita, OR – Get birdy over Memorial Day Weekend! The LNCT invites you and your family to Alder Creek Farm from 10am to 2pm this Sunday, May 26th for a Migratory Bird Day Celebration. Explore this year’s global theme, ‘Protect Insects, Protect Birds,’ in our stretch of the Pacific Flyway.

Did you know that 96% of North American bird species rely on insects while 40% of the world’s insect populations are declining? Join us and many fantastic local conservation, education, and wildlife rehabilitation organizations including Wildlife Center of the North Coast, State Parks, OSU Extension, and more to see the magic of migration and learn how you can support birds, bugs, and blooms in your garden and beyond.

Get to know your local birds on a guided bird walk, take a tour through the Nehalem Teaching Trail to learn about insect-loving native plants, and peek through the spotting scope to catch a glimpse of the birds found on Alder Creek or those stopping by during their migration at the ‘Big Sit’ station with the Bird Alliance of Oregon. Kids will also enjoy getting creative with an art activity hosted by the Hoffman Center for the Arts.

Bring your sack lunch and sit down with ‘Bird Nerd’ podcast team Hannah and Erik for a Brown Bag workshop on how to use eBird and iNaturalist apps and contribute to community science! Visit www.nehalemtrust.org/birds for the complete schedule and info. Birders of all ages and levels are welcome and we hope to see you there! (Alder Creek Farm: 35955 Underhill Lane, Nehalem, OR)

This event is supported in part by the City of Manzanita, Visit Tillamook Coast, and Explore Nature.

The Lower Nehalem Community Trust is a non-profit organization protecting and stewarding land in the lower Nehalem watershed since 2002. Community donations support our work in land acquisition, restoration, and community education programs. For more information visit www.nehalemtrust.org.

Hoffman Center for the Arts has a couple of great classes coming up:

June 8, 1:00-5:00pm, Somatic Art Exploration – An Invitation for Intuitive Art Making with Jenny Siegel
Join Instructor Jenny Siegel as she guides students through the process of intuitive art making. The afternoon will begin with gentle somatic movement. This will be done standing and sitting in a chair. This offers an opportunity to release body tension and experience a felt-sense of spaciousness. This exploration supports us in connecting with our innate creative impulses. Students will then explore with color, mark-making, and a variety of mediums, carrying a creative thread from the somatic movement practice. Art materials, guidance, space to play, and snacks will be provided. All levels of experience are welcome. Students are asked to bring their own blanket and pillow.

June 14–16 | 10:00am-5:00pm, Wax Praxis: An Encaustic workshop with Robert Procter
oin artist Robert Procter to learn the fundamentals of painting with hot wax, referred to as encaustic painting, one of the oldest painting methods known. The oldest surviving encaustic panel paintings are from the Romano-Egyptian Fayum mummy portraits from Egypt around 200–400 AD. In Greece the encaustic method was used to create portraits of the deceased and, practically, to help seal their fishing boats. Students will begin by learning the basics of equipment and materials, safety, and panel preparation. We will then progress to a host of approaches, including making lines, using stencils, embedding fabric, and transferring laser print images. Additional topics will include combining encaustic with oil, as well as delving into the magic of combining alcohol, India inks, and shellac.

You can register for these classes today on our website! We have a jam-packed calendar at Hoffman Center for the Arts, and we invite you to check out all our offerings on our website (hoffmanarts.org). Scholarships are always available.
