What: Scotch Broom Removal at John Dellenback Dunes.  Save the Oregon Dunes!

When:  Saturday, June 27th from 10:00 a.m. until Noon

Where:  John Dellenback Dunes

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.

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.
