2.Nehalem Watershed- Nehalem Must Stop Logging in Its Watershed
The Nehalem watershed was clear-cut by a logging company and then transferred to the city, possibly in the 1940s. In the 1980s, seeking new sources of income, the city began the practice of logging the watershed in stages, with the aim of generating revenue over time. Now, nearly 40 years later, only the steepest slopes remain untouched, with the majority of the area having been logged.This year marks the end of the city’s 25-year contract with a timber management firm. A speaker will address the ongoing issues, present the goals of a local conservation group, and explore alternative options the city could pursue. Additionally, the speaker will discuss how the community can get involved in protecting the watershed’s future.
Tuesday, April 22nd. 6pm-7:30pm. Doors open at 5:30pm for mingling. St Mary by the Sea Parish Hall 257 S Pacific St Rockaway Beach, Or.
Free Pizza!!
