Scotch Broom Removal at John Dellenback Dunes – Saturday, June 27

Volunteers are needed to help the Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative remove invasive Scotch broom from the John Dellenback Dunes on Saturday, June 27 from 10:00 AM to Noon. John Dellenback Dunes is one of our “Preserve the Best” sites with lots of good open sand dune habitat for native plants and animals; so it is an important location to continue our efforts to remove invasive Scotch broom. It is approximately 0.4 miles uphill on the trail to the worksite. After the event, it is a short walk to an outstanding viewpoint of large, open sand dunes with the ocean in the distance.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for hiking on the sand and bring work gloves, water, and snacks. Please bring shovels, hand saws, or loppers if you have them. If you don’t, ODRC will have tools you can borrow. Day use fees are waived for volunteers at this event.
