Volunteers are needed on Saturday, November 16 from 10AM to Noon to help the Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative remove invasive Scotch broom from the Oregon Dunes Day Use Area. The Day Use Area is mid-way between Reedsport and Florence. It is a short walk to the work site. You can go to the beach after the event, but it is a rather steep hike back up. 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. Dress for the weather, bring rain gear if showers are predicted. If a storm is predicted, we may cancel. Check this webpage or our Facebook page, Save Oregon Dunes, the morning of the event if the weather is questionable.

From Florence, OR take Highway 101 south 11.4 miles. Look for the Oregon Dunes Day Use Area sign. Turn right (west) into the parking area.
From Reedsport, OR take Highway 101 north 11.5 miles. Look for the Oregon Dunes Day Use Area sign. Turn left (west) into the parking area.

The Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative works to collaboratively support, guide and promote Oregon dunes restoration and the preservation of the open sand habitat that benefits the plants, animals and people who live and play in this special place.
