History will be made this Saturday, July 12, as the City of Wheeler proudly hosts the first-ever groundbreaking and building event for the long-anticipated Salmonberry Trail. The celebration will take place at Wheeler Waterfront Park starting at 1:00PM, with community members, trail advocates, and elected officials gathering to kick off the transformation of an 80-mile rail corridor into one of Oregon’s most scenic and impactful trails.

The Salmonberry Trail, when completed, will span from Banks to Tillamook to Wheeler, linking the lush forests of the Coast Range to the stunning Tillamook Coast. Saturday’s event marks the first of construction begins on the trail—right here in Wheeler—making it a historic milestone for the entire region.

“This is more than just a groundbreaking,” said Wheeler Mayor Denise Donohue. “It’s the beginning of a trail that will connect towns, boost tourism, support small businesses, and preserve the natural beauty we’re so proud of. We’re honored to be the first community to put boots—and tools—on the ground.”

The event will include remarks from local leaders and dignitaries, including:

Mayor Denise Donohue (Wheeler)

Mayor Charles McNeilly (Rockaway Beach)

Caroline Fitchett, Executive Director of the Salmonberry Trail Foundation

Representatives from Tillamook County, Travel Oregon, Trailkeepers of Oregon, Cycle Oregon, and state and federal offices…

Community members are invited to attend the event, enjoy light refreshments, hear from local dignitaries, and take part in a day of celebration that includes live music, kids’ games, trail explorations, local vendors, and a community scavenger hunt. Attendees are encouraged to visit Wheeler’s charming shops and eateries while in town and share the experience using #SalmonberryTrail and #WheelerOregon.

“This trail represents the future of sustainable tourism and outdoor access in Oregon,” said Caroline Fitchett, Executive Director of the Salmonberry Trail Foundation. “We’re thrilled to begin this work with a town as passionate and community-driven as Wheeler.”

Two Drifters – Kathryn Claire & Margot Merah
A Cross-Continental Collaboration from the heart
July 18th | 7:30pm (doors at 7pm) | $20
White Clover Grange – Nehalem, OR

In a world where folk music so often evokes roots and place, Two Drifters is a rare project that proves home can be a feeling, not a location. This cross-cultural, cross-continental collaboration between Portland-based Kathryn Claire and Amsterdam’s Margot Merah is as unexpected as it is organic. Their story begins, fittingly, in a pub in Amsterdam—one of those magical spots where tunes and fate converge. From that first meeting in 2013, the musical bond was immediate, and it has since blossomed into a heartfelt collaboration that spans oceans and traditions.

Their latest album, Come Close, Come In, is a warm invitation to listeners to do just that—to lean in and feel the richness of their original songwriting, the depth of their musicality, and the rare magic of two voices entwined in breathtaking harmony. The record blends the traditional with the new, the old-world with the Pacific Northwest, creating something deeply connective and refreshingly authentic.

Kathryn Claire’s violin playing rooted in her classical and traditional music background along with her poetic lyricism merge seamlessly with Merah’s storytelling sensibility and rhythmic guitar playing. Whether playing fiddle, ukulele, bodhrán, or simply letting their voices tell their stories, these multi-instrumentalists craft songs that are honest and tender. There’s strength in their subtlety, and a shared intuition that can only come from a love of the craft and of each other’s artistry.

Having toured across the US, Europe, and Japan, Two Drifters are proof that music really can bridge any distance. Their partnership is a reminder that sometimes, drifting leads you exactly where you’re meant to be.

The Nehalem Basin Partnership is hosting a series of site tours and public meetings to share salmon habitat restoration work that has been done in the Nehalem Watershed. The first of these site tours will be at the riparian and silvopasture plantings at the Nehalem River Ranch at 12:00 pm on July 5th, 2025. This tour will last 1-2 hours and is open to the public. Landowners with river or streamside properties are particularly encouraged to attend.

The Nehalem River Ranch is a multi-species, pasture-based farm that raises grass-fed beef and pastured pork while partnering with other local farmers who raise chickens, grow cut flowers, and other farm products. In 2020, Nehalem River Ranch partnered with the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council to plant over a mile of riparian trees and shrubs and 4 acres of silvopasture. Simultaneously, with support from the Tillamook Soil and Water Conservation District, Nehalem River Ranch also planted pollinator hedge rows between their pastures. Trees were planted and maintained by the Backyard Planting Program at Tillamook Estuaries Partnership.

“I’m very excited to share this project with our community,” says Zac Mallon, Director of the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council. “This is a great example of how managing Japanese knotweed on the banks of the Nehalem River isn’t a lost cause. The conifers planted in this project will push the knotweed out as their canopy develops. The trees are now reaching a size where grazing among the plantings for knotweed suppression is possible too!” He also says that this project will benefit salmon by absorbing nutrients from the fields, shading the river, and managing erosion by developing strong, fibrous root systems in the riverbank as erosion promoting knotweed gets pushed out.

This will be a walking tour through an active farm so please wear sturdy walking shoes or boots that can get dirty.

For more information about the tour or about the Nehalem Landowner Engagement Initiative please contact the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council at info@nehalemwatershed.org. More information on the Nehalem Basin Partnership and our outreach initiative can be found at www.nehalembasinpartnership.com/Nehalem-landowner-engagement-initiative . The Nehalem River Ranch website is www.nehalemriverranch.com . The Backyard Planting Program at Tillamook Estuaries Partnership can be found at www.tbnep.org/programs/habitat-restoration/backyard-planting-program/ .

This work is funded by grants from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund. We thank them for their support of habitat restoration in the Nehalem Watershed.
