Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative has scheduled their Scotch broom removal volunteer events for this coming season. See the flyer for dates and locations. More details to come about each event as it gets closer to the date.

Please come out to one or more of the events! If we have a large group we can get a lot done to remove the invasive plants and protect the open sand dune habitat important for the native plants and amimals of the Oregon dunes.
