Save the date for the White Clover Grange tree grafting workshop on Saturday March 28th from 1-4. We will be grafting heritage apples and some pears.

Grafting is an art and allows us to grow a genetic replica of a living fruit tree. We have some amazing old trees growing in the area and want to keep them alive for generations to come!

If you’re interested in grafting a copy of your own tree (or a friend or neighbor’s), now’s the time to collect scion wood. Scions are long straight twigs about the size of a pencil or a little larger. Cut them with sharp pruners and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until the workshop. We will also have scions from local heritage apple trees to share.

Each workshop participant will have the opportunity to learn how to graft and to take home a tree for their own garden or orchard. Suggested donation is $10-25

To sign up for the workshop, contact Jennifer Childress with the White Clover Grange.

Musical Storytime Three Hens and a Peacock

Bring your preschooler to hear a hilarious story at North Oregon Coast Symphony’s next free Musical Storytime. In March the featured story will be Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester Laminack. This program is a hands-on musical activity. The event will feature a live oboe accompaniment. Children will hear about a peaceful farm where animals don’t complain – until a peacock arrives. Be ready to laugh out loud as the tale unfolds. With vibrant illustrations this book is sure to be a favorite for children and adults. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the oboe and take part in making their own music with provided instruments.

This event will be offered at 10:30 Monday, March 9 at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.

The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership with the Astoria Library, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and the Seaside Library.

On Saturday, March 14, NVHS will present Capt. Daniel Marvin. Capt. Dan captained throughout his career and has a fascination with all things related to sailing the waters of the Pacific Northwest. When he learned about the circumstances of the loss of the Leggitt, he thought that the investigation was lacking. His own investigation has drawn different conclusions and his findings throw a new light on the responsibility for the greatest loss of life on the Oregon coast. Come join us at NCRD’s Performing Arts Center. $10 at the door.

Join Friends of Netarts Bay – WEBS on Wednesday, March 18th, 6:30-7:30 for the second webinar presentation in our 2026 “Producers of the Bay” series!

Oregon’s coastal blue ecosystems are dynamic, productive, and increasingly shaped by climate change and invasive species. This webinar explores the ecological roles of seaweeds and invasive green crabs, and how science-informed, ancestral stewardship and harvesting practices can contribute to ecosystem resilience. Drawing from marine ecology, the Indigenous 13 Moons seasonal framework, and Asian coastal food traditions, the session connects ecosystem literacy with culinary nourishment.

Dr. Siew Sun Wong from OSU’s School of Nutrition and Public Health and Dr. Samuel Chan from OSU’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences will share their insights into Oregon’s nearshore systems and how thoughtful harvesting and cooking can transform ecological challenges into opportunities for stewardship and sustainability—while also creating meaningful and nourishing meals.

Seaweed samples will be available at the WEBS office for pick-up to enjoy during the presentation. Details will be sent to all registrants.

If you look out your window right now and see an unruly tangle of branches and limbs but not much foliage, that’s your cue to prune.

But know this: the decisions you make on where to cut and what to remove will shape your landscape for years to come. YIKES!

Intimidated? So is your Japanese maple whenever you approach it with pruners in your hand (or, heaven forbid, loppers).

So talk about coincidence! The Hoffman Center for the Arts just happens to be offering an all-day, hands-on Pruning Lab with the Wonder Garden’s all-time favorite aesthetic pruner, Maryann Lewis.

Class size is limited for individual attention so get in while the going’s good. We’ve a few slots left.

Some say perspective changes everything. The 16 writers from throughout the Northwest, Canada and Texas selected to read their pieces on the theme, “From a Distance,” for the Cannon Beach Library’s Writers Read Celebration, twisted their perceptions to encompass time, space and technology.

They will read their poems, short stories and essays at the Celebration beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, March 6 in the library, 131 Hemlock St., Cannon Beach.

Admission is free. People can attend in person at the library or online; the link will be on the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.

From a conversation with the wind to backwards time travel in Galway, Ireland, the pieces offered a variety of views from a distance.

A boy looks at the planets while a Martian considers Earth. Friends try to plan a coastal trip via text messages. Life changes direction for a young man working in a mint field. A woman hopes to recapture her great-grandmother’s recipe for beans and pork.

This is the eighth year of the library’s Writers Read Celebration. Writers were asked to submit up to three entries – limited to 600 words per entry – on a chosen theme. This year’s theme was “From a Distance.”

The library received a record-breaking 122 entries. They were reviewed in a blind selection process by a panel of volunteers from the library’s NW Authors Series Committee.

Those selected to read were:
Aronne Barnes, Portland: Short Story, Charity Lamb
Rachel Blair, Portland: Essay, How to Write a Recipe
John Ciminello, Naselle, WA: Short Story, Digital Distances
Linda Gelbrich, Corvallis: Poem, Just Imagining,
Bill Graffius,Gearhart: Poem, Baby Left Alone
Dan Herford, Corvallis: Short Story, So Close So Far
Kristin Koptiuch, Rockaway: Poem, Like a Vagrant Bird
Phyllis Mannan, Beaverton: Poems, Leaving the Beach House and A Landscape No Longer Mine
Lily Marshall, Seaside: Short Story, Soulmates?
