Native Wetland Restoration Part 2
Reed Ranch, Clatsop Plains

Please join us as we continue to create migratory bird habitat at Reed Ranch. With fences in place and plantings started, we’ll build off our efforts from last October to plant the remainder of the scrub-shrub habitat. Birders beware – you’ll be sure to find many distractions here such as American Bitterns, Rufous Hummingbirds, Black Phoebes, White-Fronted Geese, and if we’re lucky, Whimbrels!

Volunteer work parties begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon except where noted. Bring gloves, sturdy boots, rain gear, and water, NCLC will supply the tools needed. We will not normally have access to public restrooms. Work continues in the afternoon, so if you want to make a day of it, pack a lunch and stay!

For more information or directions to the work site, please call NCLC Stewardship Director Celeste Coulter at 503-738-9126 or e-mail celestec@nclctrust.org.
