Under a veil of vines and through the treacherous tunnels of blackberry canes, we’re embarking on a treasure hunt for native plants in Zimmerman Marsh.
Join the Lower Nehalem Community Trust Stewardship Crew from 10:00 – 12:00 in Wheeler to care for this corner of wetland in good company. We will continue removing Scotch broom and blackberry to open up space for native plants to thrive.
Tools, gloves and scenic views provided.
Park near Highway 101 and Hemlock street.
We’re looking for people to join us in guiding our small, nationally accredited land trust into the next phase of growth and impact here in the Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler region of the Oregon coast! We are eager to expand our representation and welcome candidates with diverse lived experiences, backgrounds, orientations, ages, and voices to join our team.
We’d love to hear from you if you:
– Care deeply about the land and people of the Lower Nehalem region
– Want to make a tangible, lasting impact locally
– Enjoy good company and muddy boots (optional, but encouraged!)
~ Accepting Applications through November 26th ~
The Lower Nehalem Community Trust is a community supported, nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation and restoration of natural lands. We carry out our mission through land conservation and stewardship, education, and a community garden supporting food security in our region.
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.

Class description for NCRD classes with Libby Golden Seaver IIN Health Coach.
Qigong / Tai Chi
Qigong (chee-gung) is an ancient discipline and study of life energy in our bodies through coordinated movements and breath. Libby’s classes move through the Eight Treasures (Ba Duan Jin) for robust health. Her classes have a 5 elements seasonal focus as well. “This means we practice movements specific to each season focusing on our body’s needs according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
Classes include some tai chi flow. All lead to improved vital energy and balanced physical and emotional health.
All levels of experience welcome. Come enjoy the gentle stretching and twisting that release, relax and tone the entire body.
We’d love to have you join us: 11:15-12pm in the gym on Tuesdays. Thank you!
Hosted by the library’s NW Authors Series, the presentation is free and open to the public, available in-person at the library or livestreamed via a link on the library’s website. Books will be available for sale.
Set in Silicon Valley, Dead Money begins with the murder of Trevor Canon, the CEO of the hottest startup, Journy. Later it is learned that Canon, who feared such a possibility, had changed
his will to include a “dead money” clause, specifying that, in the event of his murder, his $20 billion in
company stock will remain frozen until his murder is solved.
From there, the story takes numerous twists and turns, involving a ruthless venture capitalist, a young investigator, the FBI and several quirky technology experts who add details to the plot, which continues to surprise through the last page.
In Dead Money, Kerr, the son of Cannon Beach residents Bruce and Lisa Kerr, draws on his experiences to create the novel. Kerr spent 15 years as a lawyer and communications executive in the San Francisco tech industry. He now lives in Seattle.
Publishers Weekly called Kerr a “formidable new talent.”
In addition, the Seattle Times says Dead Money is “exhilarating and unpredictable.”
“Packed with jaw-dropping twists, a compelling outsider heroine and scathing insights into the tech world’s glittering facade, Dead Money is an electrifying debut that demands to be devoured.”
I get information daily now about the No Kings Day coming up this Saturday around the nation and here in Manzanita. Location is on Highway 101 at the top of Laneda and Manzanita Avenues. Time is from noon to 2 PM. The last information I received from the No Kings Team said this: ” Let’s do everything in our power to make No Kings Day the biggest, peaceful day of action possible.” So, are you with us? The website below talks about this event. Please watch it. As with all you tube, you could watch
forever, just asking you to watch this video on safety.
Go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fka4dek_YW8
Our Safety Committee consists of 14 people who will be wearing orange vests. At the event know where these people are in case you have a problem. With your help our group will keep this event safe for everyone.
If you can, dress in yellow. This will make our group stand out even more than they already do. If you can, bring a NO KINGS sign, or sign of your choice. Know that these signs will be seen by the public of any age, so we ask you to make your sign appropriate for anyone to see. Make your sign as positive as you can to reflect the positiveness of our PROTEST. Yes, we are all MAD about what is going on. Let’s just not be as mad as the people running the government right now. We are better than that. Remember: GOOD NEEDS TO WIN!
What else do you want to see at our PROTEST? Let me know, because this is all about US, and US needs to speak up!
Enjoy our sunny days.
Best,
Patty
