Please join us for the start of our Bay to Basin speaker series. This FREE event will feature local ODFW Fish Habitat Restoration Biologist Derek Wiley.
Join the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST), and make a difference for the environment! COASST participants collect monthly data on beached carcasses of marine birds to establish the pattern of bird mortality on North Pacific beaches. Data collected helps address important marine conservation issues. No prior scientific experience is needed!
Beach surveys are best when conducted in groups of 2 or more — so please come with a partner in mind or in tow! The training is free, but we do ask for a $31 refundable survey kit deposit to take the materials home.
If you are in need of a community event to look forward to in the new year…look no further! Come out to Heart of Cartm’s studio in Wheeler on January 15th to collage and dream about what thriving estuaries can do for our communities! We will discuss TEP’s recent publication of the State of the Bays and staff will be present for you to ask questions and get plugged into opportunities to engage in the conservation of our estuaries!

Grief touches each of us differently, and it doesn’t follow a timeline. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, navigating a major life change, or carrying emotions that feel difficult to name, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Beginning Thursday, January 8, 2026, Adventist Health Tillamook is relaunching its Virtual Grief Support Groups to provide a compassionate, supportive space for reflection, connection, and healing. These groups will meet virtually on the first and last Thursday of each month from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., making them accessible to participants wherever they are.
The sessions will be co-led by Cami Aufdermauer, Bereavement Coordinator and Chaplain serving Adventist Health since 2024, and Dr. Pam Strachan, a Board-Certified Chaplain and Bereavement Specialist who is returning to support the Tillamook community she served from 2020 to 2024. Together, they bring experience, empathy, and practical tools to support people through a wide range of loss-related experiences.
These groups are open to anyone experiencing grief of any kind. Participants may explore emotions such as shock, anger, disbelief, guilt, or sadness, while learning healthy ways to cope and finding connection with others who understand what they’re going through. There is no expectation to share more than you’re comfortable with, and each person is welcome to participate at their own pace.
To register, visit: ahlink.org/tillamookgg. Participants will receive an email with details and a link to join each virtual session.
If you or someone you know could benefit from this support, we encourage you to take part or share these event details. Grief is not something to “get over,” but something to move through, together.
Grief doesn’t always have to involve losing someone in your life. As we age, we are sometimes forced to give up things or activities we enjoy, such as jogging, pinochle, volunteer activities, or traveling. This can lead to a rather profound sense of loss. Join an expert as we discuss the different types of “invisible losses,” and learn how to cope, heal, and grieve from these types of disenfranchised or ambiguous losses.

The Cape Meares Emergency Volunteer Corps (CMEVC) and the newly formed Tillamook Emergency Volunteer Corps (TEVC) are gearing up for an energizing and educational morning as the Let’s Get Ready to Rock and Roll event arrives at the Tillamook County Library on February 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. County officials and representatives of CMEVC and TEVC will be available for questions during the Q & A session. CMEVC is the emergency preparedness arm of the Cape Meares Community Association (CMCA).
For those unable to attend in person, send an email to capemearesca@gmail.com to request a ZOOM link and how to participate in the interactive events. Admission is FREE. Enter for a chance to win a “go-bag” ($125 value) filled with supplies that will help you survive the first 72 hours of emergencies like extended power outages and the long-anticipated 9.0 Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake.
The featured speaker, Steve Eberlein, will share his remarkable firsthand account of surviving the 9.1 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami (2004) while working for the Red Cross. His experience offers a powerful perspective on resilience, preparedness, and the strength people discover in moments of crisis. A native Oregonian, Steve has delivered 200+ earthquake preparedness presentations, including his 2018 TEDx presentation in Portland, Oregon. Steve is the Resilience and Engagement Manager for Ethos Preparedness.
Sponsored by Governor Kotek’s Plan for a Resilient Oregon (PRO), CMEVC, TEVC, and the Tillamook County Library, the program promises a blend of storytelling, interactive events, and community connection. CMCA is one of two nonprofits in Tillamook County and one of 53 community-based organizations whose work directly informs the Governor’s plan. The PRO will guide the development of her 2027-2029 budget and legislative funding in 2027 and beyond. TEVC focuses on emergency preparedness in the City of Tillamook and collaborates with CMEVC and other communities across Tillamook County through their membership in Tillamook County Civilian Corps Council (TC4), a grassroots council of communities, agencies, and organizations throughout Tillamook County.
TBCC facilities are ADA-accessible. If you have questions about access or accommodations, please contact Jason Lawrence, Executive Director of Facilities and Safety; 4301 Third Street, Tillamook, OR 97141, 503-842-8222 ext. 1520.
Enjoy the beauty of Blooming Rare Pink Waterlilies at Barview Station South of Rockaway Beach, Oregon.
Waterlilies are symbolic of rebirth because the flowers close at night (about 4:00pm) and come back in the morning (about 9:30 am). The waterlily is also seen as a sign of enlightenment because the flowers are rising out of the mud.
The beautiful Pink Color of the water lily symbolizes joy and friendship.
Visit us Thursday- Sunday 10:30-4:30 to photograph, paint or view these beautiful flowers.
Also visit the on site Barview Station Gift Shop for Pink Water Lily Art, Gifts and Souvenirs.
