Alder Creek Farm’s Nehalem Teaching Trail is in need of a few helping hands. In October, we will meet every Tuesday at noon to tend to native plants—we welcome those with extensive knowledge and those seeking to learn about supporting local ecosystems through native plant gardening and landscaping.

The trail is less than 1/4 mile long, over flat ground. Activities may include bending, light lifting, and walking over uneven surfaces while tending plants. Tools and gloves will be provided. Water, shade, and restrooms are available on-site.

Sunset Bay Walk

Join us for a relaxing and educational evening stroll along the beautiful shores of Netarts Bay and the surrounding beach on Saturday, October 18th.  Limited capacity.  Registration is required.

This in-person event is the perfect way to unwind after a long day and enjoy the natural beauty of the Oregon coast. We are excited to have Marine Biologist and Photographer Jim Young as our volunteer guide. Jim will lead the walk and provide information about interesting beach finds, bay ecology, and more along the way. Additionally, if you plan to bring your camera, hoping to capture a beautiful sunset, Jim will be happy to share some basic tips to help you take that memorable shot.  

What to bring:

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Reusable water bottle
• Snacks, if desired
• Binoculars are highly encouraged. We will have a few pairs available to borrow and share.
• The climate can change quickly along the coast, ranging from warm to cool and breezy, so please bring the gear you need to stay comfortable.

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. Email maijahecht@nehalemtrust.org with any questions.

Join us for Trail Building on September Stewardship Fridays! 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.

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.

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.
