The project fulfills a vision first imagined more than twenty years ago, when LNCT launched the Protect the Edge campaign to safeguard and connect vital habitat from Alder Creek to Nehalem Bay State Park. These edge lands nurture wildlife, buffer neighboring communities from winter storms, filter water entering the bay, and provide access to connect with nature.
On Tuesday, October 28th from 3pm – 5pm we will gather at Alder Creek Farm to celebrate. Light refreshments will be served, followed by a short program and optional walking tour to the property (roughly a half mile walk on damp natural and gravel surfaces, or van shuttle available). We recommend water resistant footwear. All are welcome!
We will meet at 11:30AM at the South Neahkahnie Trailhead for a walk down LNCT’s Headwater’s trail to our stewardship benches. Paper bag your lunch and enjoy a midday break outside with friends. The walk is ~2.5 miles round trip, with a gentle incline.
Note—the Headwaters trail is uneven and mildly steep in some areas. To access the Headwaters Trail, we will meet at the Neahkahnie Mountain South Trailhead parking lot and walk down from there. Plan to wear shoes with a decent tread and dress for the weather.
Visit nehalemtrust.org for more details.
If winds are forecast to be above 20mph, this event will likely be rescheduled. Please check LNCT’s events calendar for updates.

Join us for a reading by Polly Dugan from her new novel, The House of Cavanaugh, hot off the press, published by Sibylline Press, October 2025.
This book revisits a family who appears in five stories in Dugan’s linked collection, So Much a Part of You (Little, Brown, 2014). Dugan will read from her new novel and also discuss the thoughtful process of continuing a storyline from a fictional short story to the development of realistic fiction in a longer format.

Park near Highway 101 and Hemlock street.
The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the Vietnam War. Today, the world over, a primary chemical of the toxic defoliant (dioxin) controls weeds in farming, forestry, parks, and playgrounds. It wreaks havoc on the human genome, causing birth deformities and deadly cancers.
This investigative documentary interweaves personal with political struggles as it follows two heroic women who are leading a worldwide movement to hold manufacturers of these pesticides accountable.
After the film, people will have opportunities to learn more about the pesticide-related challenges Oregonians continue to face, especially in the fight to keep surface drinking water safe. Carol Van Strum and Susan Swift, two of the activists starring in the film, will be on hand to answer questions after the movie.
