Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative is inviting volunteers to join ODRC and the Siuslaw National Forest to celebrate Public Lands Day by removing invasive Scotch broom at the Oregon Dunes Day Use Area on Saturday, September 26 from 1 PM to 3 PM. This is an opportunity to volunteer and give back to your Public Lands!
It will be relatively short walk on moderately sandy slopes to get to the work area. 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.
The Day Use Area is mid-way between Reedsport and Florence. Day use fees are waived for volunteers at this event.
