Join the Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative, McKenzie River Trust, and the Siuslaw National Forest and celebrate Public Lands Day by removing invasive Scotch broom at the Oregon Dunes Day Use Area on Saturday, September 27 from 10 AM to Noon. This is an opportunity to volunteer and give back to your Public Lands! With your help, we can continue to make progress removing invasive species at one of the most popular sites on the Oregon dunes!
The Day Use Area is mid-way between Reedsport and Florence. You can go to the beach after the event. It is a two-mile hike round trip. A portion of the hike back is moderately steep. Children and grandchildren are invited, this is a family-friendly event!
Bring closed-toe shoes, 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.
