Trail Building - Stewardship Friday with LNCT

This month, we're trail building! September Stewardship Fridays will take place at Alder Creek Farm. These work parties are beginner friendly and an opportunity to learn about the engineering of hiking trails. We will be working on uneven ground, bending, and moving small rocks and brush during this process.

Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area's Nehalem Teaching Trail already supports an impressive variety of native plants and simulated ecosystems for community learning—but we're looking to grow. This short trail will extend educational access into a different ecosystem and connect to the Natural Area's pollinator meadow. We hope it will also add some variety to habitat access for bird watchers who visit the farm as a part of the Oregon Coast Birding Trail.

Tools and gloves are provided, new volunteers welcome and no prior experience needed. Join as frequently as you please. Email c2hhbmUgfCBuZWhhbGVtdHJ1c3QgISBvcmc= for weekly updates on where to meet.
