Come enjoy the Movie on our big screen.



On March 10th, 2022 Andrew Bluhm, OSU’s Associate Program Director of the Hardwood Silviculture Cooperative will provide new insight into a common tree in the Nehalem Watershed, the Red Alder. This presentation will introduce the characteristics of red alder and summarize the ecological role that red alder plays in the Oregon Coast Range. We’ll look at how red alder fits into the big picture of PNW ecosystems then examine the red alder’s effect on diversity, site productivity, community resiliency, and ecosystem function. Specific emphasis will be placed on the function red alder has in riparian systems and its influence on riparian communities.
In addition to a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Minnesota and an M.S. in Forest Ecology/Silviculture from the University of Georgia, Andrew has spent the last 20 years at OSU as the Associate Program Director of the Hardwood Silviculture Cooperative- focusing on the biology and management of red alder. Other research projects at OSU have included directing the red alder management program for the OSU College Forests, managing a long-term study on alternative silvicultural practices, installing and measuring a Swiss Needle Cast research plot network, and coordinating the PNW Permanent Sample Plot network. His main duties include everything from education and outreach, data collection to growth and yield modeling and everything in between. In his free time, he enjoys exploring PNW old-growth forests in pursuit of big trees.
Andrew is an expert on this foundational tree in our watershed and will have a wealth of information to share with us. Hopefully, everyone will walk away from this talk with a new appreciation for Red Alders and the roles they play in the Nehalem.
The talk will be on March 10th at 7 pm, hosted on Zoom, and is free to the public. The zoom link is us02web.zoom.us/j/86320883649 or on the Faceboook event at www.facebook.com/lnwc1. You can also contact the watershed council at lnwc@nehalemtel.net. A recording of this presentation will also be posted on the LNWC’s YouTube channel with our other recorded presentations.

North Coast Music Project is delighted to bring a music legend to the NCRD Performing Arts Center!!
No lover of American roots music should miss the first ever North Coast performance by Maria Muldaur! Soulful and sassy, Maria Muldaur will light up the NCRD Performing Arts Center with New Orleans blues, gospel, and swamp funk, backed with grit and reckless abandon by her Red Hot Bluesiana Band.
Unparalleled interpreter of Americana music before the genre was invented, Maria’s musical style has evolved over four decades from her off-the-charts pop hit, “Midnight at the Oasis” to her explorations of New Orleans jazz, Western swing, gospel, country blues, and more. Maria has brought back into the spotlight some of America’s finest roots music around.
The recipient of six Grammy nominations and numerous other awards, Maria’s live performances are brimming with rock-the-rooftops energy. Part infectious fun and part down-home revival, they are a deeply satisfying antidote to contemporary mass media culture. Maria and her band are coming to NCRD April 9th at 7:00pm. Get your tickets in advance, because this show is sure to sell out! Tickets are $25 in advance and $28 at the door, you can purchase them online at tickettomato.com.
Doors open at 6:30. Show starts at 7pm with opening act The Beefheart Boys featuring Johnnie Ward and Bill Uhlig.
There will be a beer/wine social upstairs starting at 6pm

I am excited to share our Spring class, which is in partnership with the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, connecting through craft + nature + land stewardship.
English Ivy Basketry w/ Chloë Hight
Saturday, April 2nd, 12-4:00
Alder Creek Farm
In this class students will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of English Ivy (Hedera Helix), as a basket weaving material. English Ivy is an aggressively growing evergreen vine and introduced species that is well-adapted to the mild Pacific Northwest climate, creating “ivy deserts” that challenge native habitat and ecosystems. Chloë Hight will teach students how to safely harvest and prepare this versatile vine to create cordage and a small woven vessel. The Lower Nehalem Community Trust will be leading a land stewardship session Friday April 1, from 10-noon to clear an area of English Ivy that will be repurposed as a creative material for this class to learn foundational weaving techniques.
Chloë first learned these techniques from her mentors Sharon Kallis and Rebecca Graham at EartHand Gleaners Society in Vancouver, BC and has continued to deepen her knowledge through classes led by Peter Michael Bauer with Rewild Portland in Portland, OR.
This class will be offered to 15 ppl- vaccinated only please.
Please register or ask questions by contacting Amy: amykcarleton@gmail.com | 503.407.7259
Looking forward to sharing this experience with you!
Warmly,
Amy

The Hoffman Center for the Arts is pleased to announce the third series of the Virtual Watercolor Studio. We meet once a month over Zoom, where we explore a new topic and spend time painting together, growing in our skills and love of watercolor.
In the third series, we will explore four of the most common and well-known types of painting genres. We will begin with Still Life in March, and in April we’ll look at Landscape painting. Figure painting will be our topic in May, and finally, we will try our hand at Abstract painting at the June session. Another four-month series will follow when this one ends.
Our Virtual Watercolor Studio will be on the first Wednesday afternoon of each month. We will spend some time learning about the month’s theme, perhaps have an exercise to try, and then spend the rest of the time painting. Individual attention and help will be given to each student, as well as demos for you to observe.
All registered participants will receive access to this series at Hoff-Online where handouts, homework, recorded Zoom sessions, and other information are uploaded throughout the months. It includes an online forum, which allows postings of work either in progress or finished, with input from the instructor and feedback from other students.
We look forward to building a watercolor community and improving our skills as the months go along. There is still time to register for this series. Follow this link for more information or to register: hoffmanarts.org/events/virtual-watercolor-studio-a-monthly-exploration-series-3/

On February 10th, 2022 Dr Jose R Marin Jarrin from the Humbolt State University Department of Fisheries Biology will share his experience and knowledge of nearshore sandy ecosystems as part of the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council’s speaker series. In 2013 he published a paper on the use of sandy beach environments as nurseries for juvenile Chinook salmon. Since then his research has spanned a wide variety of marine biology topics including a chapter in the 2022 book “Sandy Beaches as Endangered Ecosystems” titled “The Biology and Ecology of Sandy Beach Surf Zones.” It’s really exciting to have such an expert in his field come present to us!
His research on Chinook use of sandy beach environments explored what role that environment plays in their life history. His research sought to describe that use through field collections, otolith sampling, and comparison of growth between estuarine and sandy beach Chinook juveniles. This is sure to be a great story about both the process of science and an opportunity to learn more about what’s happening off shores very much like those here by the mouth of the Nehalem.
Dr Jose Marin Jarrin earned his PhD in Fisheries Science at Oregon State University, with a Masters in Marine Biology from University of Oregon, and his Bachelors from the University of Guayaquil in Ecuador. Since 2008 he’s published at least 32 times on marine biology topics!
The talk will be on February 10th at 7 pm, hosted on Zoom, and is free to the public. The zoom link is us02web.zoom.us/j/84340270734 or on the Faceboook event at www.facebook.com/lnwc1. You can also contact the watershed council at lnwc@nehalemtel.net. A recording of this presentation will also be posted on the LNWC’s YouTube channel with our other recorded presentations. Just search for “Lower Nehalem Watershed Council” on YouTube.
Prior to the presentation the LNWC will be holding a meeting of the Board. This is a great opportunity to hear about Lower Nehalem Watershed Council activities, organizational health, and to connect with the council yourself. The board meeting will begin at 5 pm and end just before the presentation begins.
