Take a Nature Break: Salmon Spotting Field Trip

What To Expect:
Walk < 1.5 miles over gravel. Off-trail sections optional for viewing.
Carpool for a short (15 minute) drive from Alder Creek Farm.
Dress for variable coastal weather.
Learn about local salmon conservation methods!
Where to Meet:
We will carpool from Alder Creek Farm: 35955 Underhill Ln., Nehalem, Oregon 97131
Beverly is a habitat restoration project coordinator with Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. Her job includes assessing salmon habitats and thinking of ways to make them healthier, then putting those ideas into practice. Beverly has always enjoyed working with animals and has spent the last several years focusing on salmon. She’s previously worked at both the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, monitoring fishing activity and conducting surveys that look for salmon and their redds (spawning sites). She has a big passion for the ecosystems here in Tillamook County and is always excited to find ways to conserve and promote healthy habitats.

Trail Building in Nehalem Bay With LNCT!

Every Friday, volunteers gather on LNCT lands near Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler to protect and restore habitat in the lower Nehalem watershed. We would love to see new faces out on the land!
September Stewardship Fridays will be about completing the trail. These work parties are beginner friendly and an opportunity to learn about the engineering of hiking trails. We will be working on uneven ground, bending, and moving small rocks and brush during this process. Tools and gloves are provided, new volunteers welcome and no prior experience needed. Join as frequently as you please.  Email shane@nehalemtrust.org for weekly updates on where to meet.
Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area’s Nehalem Teaching Trail already supports an impressive variety of native plants and simulated ecosystems for community learning—but we’re looking to grow. This short trail will extend educational access into a different ecosystem and connect to the Natural Area’s pollinator meadow. We hope it will also add some variety to habitat access for bird watchers who visit the farm as a part of the Oregon Coast Birding Trail.
