Join us on Friday to build public-access trails on Alder Creek Farm! Our Stewardship Crew meets from 10:00AM – 12:00PM every Friday.

These work parties are beginner friendly and an opportunity to learn about the engineering of hiking trails.

Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area’s Nehalem Teaching Trail already supports an impressive variety of native plants and simulated ecosystems for community learning—but we’re looking to grow. This short trail will extend educational access into a different ecosystem and connect to the Natural Area’s pollinator meadow. We hope it will also add some variety to habitat access for bird watchers who visit the farm as a part of the Oregon Coast Birding Trail.

Tools and gloves are provided, new volunteers welcome and no prior experience needed. We will be working on uneven ground, bending, and moving small rocks and brush during this process. Join as frequently as you please. Email shane@nehalemtrust.org for weekly updates on where to meet.

You may have seen me painting these at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market or on the beach this summer… I’m a local artist and art teacher.

I’ll be teaching a painting class intensive in October… 4 classes in two weeks. Topics will include composition, drawing, color, tone/value, edges, brushwork and palette knife work. The building blocks of a successful painting!

I’ll be using oils and demonstrating in that medium. If you prefer, you can use acrylics or gouache. Each class will have a short lecture to start and then you’ll put those principles into action as you work on your individual painting. Some art history will also be part of the class, as I focus on a particular artist that was a master of our ‘topic of the day’.

The class will be in Garibaldi Oregon. We’ll meet October 14, 16, 21 & 23… Each Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm. It will be a very small class so lots of time for individual attention.

All levels are welcome. I’m offering two ways to take the class. If you have all your own painting supplies, the cost will be $120 for the entire session. OR, I can provide all oil painting supplies you’ll need and you just bring brushes (and a palette knife if you’d like) for $160 for the session. Tables and chairs are provided, stand if you prefer.

The class has limited spaces. I’m asking for a 50% deposit to secure your spot. The deposit of $60 or $80 (including supplies) can be made via card, check or cash.

Contact me anytime with questions or to sign up… Shirl

In gratitude for the enthusiastic responses to its past performances, on October 4 the North Oregon Coast Symphony will present a FREE classical music concert featuring small wind and string ensembles at St. Catherine Episcopal Church in Nehalem.

For several years, the symphony performed regularly at St. Catherine until it outgrew the venue. Because musicians loved playing at the church, with its wonderful acoustics and appreciative audiences, several small groups made up of current and former symphony members have put together a program of chamber music suited for the smaller venue.

Queentet–a string quartet plus clarinet– will play movements from Mozart’s famous clarinet quintet, K 581. A trio of flutes will present two contemporary pieces, one of which, Birds, has movements entitled Birdsong, Flight, and The Journey. The FAB piano trio (violin, cello, piano) will perform the gentle second movement from Mendelssohn’s first piano trio. The Astoria Tuba Quartet will round out the program with a selection of pieces by composers ranging from the baroque-era Buxtehude to the local (Peninsula) Norm Poulshock.

The concert will take place on Saturday, October 4 at St. Catherine Episcopal Church (36335 N. Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR ) beginning at 3 pm.

There will be no fee for admission, but donations are encouraged.

Way back in 2018, the folks running the show at the Hoffman Wonder Garden decided on a mission: to put the manzanitas back in Manzanita. Clearly, the plants thrived in this climate, flowered WAY before most other garden plants, and had singularly GORGEOUS bark.

Today, 7 years later, the WG has sold @750 namesake shrubs to the wider community during its spring and fall plant sales. Yay!

Tomorrow, at the WG PLANT SALE, we’re selling l @50 more! Here’s the line-up:

‘Martha Ewan’, a fab & flawless groundcover form that was discovered growing on Mrs Ewan’s grave here in Nehalem…

‘John Dourley’ and ‘White Lanterns’, both lovely smaller shrubs that top out at 3’…

‘Lester Rowntree’ and ‘Warren Roberts’, 4’ high and a generous 8’ wide…

‘Gray Leaf Form’, super pretty with distinct foliage, ultimately 5’x5’…

And coming in at an impressive 7’x7’, the handsome and fast growing ’Sentinel’.

SEE YOU AT THE WONDER GARDEN TOMORROW, SEPT 20, 10-12PM!!!
