Scotch Broom Removal at John Dellenback Dunes – Saturday, May 3
The Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative is hosting a volunteer event to remove Scotch broom at the John Dellenback Dunes on Saturday, May 3 from 10:00 AM to Noon. Volunteers are needed to continue our efforts to remove invasive Scotch broom from one of our “Protect the Best” sites. It is approximately 0.4 miles uphill on the trail to the worksite. This is a family event, so children and grandchildren are welcome. After the event, it is a short walk to an outstanding viewpoint, and the kids can enjoy rolling down the large sand dune!
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 a limited supply of tools you can borrow. Day use fees are waived for volunteers at this event.
