The Lower Nehalem Community Trust, in partnership with Trailkeepers of Oregon, and the City of Manzanita, invite you to take part in the global movement commemorating 54 years of action on behalf of our planet! Join us at Elk Meadows Park for family fun and community stewardship in honor of Earth Day. Roll up your sleeves, grab a pair of clippers (or borrow ours), bring family and friends to honor our planet, our community, and the impact of collective action.
Where: Elk Meadows Park, Nehalem. (Turn south off of Hwy. 101 onto Bayside Gardens Road. Take the last right turn onto Neptune Way. Park is at the end of Neptune Way on the Left)
When: Sunday, April 21st, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
What: We’ll show some love for this great community park by mulching, cleaning up tree cages and enclosures, chipping paths, trimming brush along trails, and removing blackberry and scotch broom. We’ll have some additional stewardship activities for the young (and young at heart).
What to expect: Tools and gloves provided (or welcome to bring your own). Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for variable coastal weather. Parking is adjacent to the park and surfaces are gravel, wood chip and grass. We will be using hand tools such as loppers, pruning saws and shovels. This park is owned by the City of Manzanita and stewarded by the Lower Nehalem Trust with the help of the community.
Statement of Inclusion: We understand that everyone learns and experiences the outdoors differently and we welcome the opportunity to collaborate and adjust this event to the extent possible to meet your or your group’s needs. Please reach out if you have any questions about your participation.
