SUMMARY:Go Touch Grass! Eelgrass Exploration in Netarts Bay
DESCRIPTION:Join the Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS\, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership (TEP)\, and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) for an exploration among the eelgrass in Netarts Bay! During this event\, we will learn about current monitoring efforts and findings\, and we will also get our feet wet as we explore the eelgrass and diverse critters that call it home. This is a family-friendly event that will be fun and appropriate for all ages! \n  \nRegistration is required for this event and will be open starting Saturday\, June 28th!\n  \nWhy Should I Care About Eelgrass? \nEelgrass is incredibly important to our ecosystems\, as it is the foundation for a highly productive food web in our bays. Among other things\, eelgrass has the following functions: \n\nProduces food and oxygen\nImproves water quality but filtering pollutants\nAbsorbs excess nutrients\nStores greenhouse gases (ex. carbon dioxide)\nSupports shoreline structure to mitigate erosion\nActs as a nursery for juvenile fish and other species\n\nPeople are often unaware of these important ecosystem functions and therefore eelgrass is often disturbed and degraded. Offsetting the negative effects to this important species starts with education! \nOn Saturday July 12th\, Tony D’Andrea from the ODFW Shellfish team and Flynn DeLany\, TEP’s Field and Data Scientist\, will speak to the importance of eelgrass\, common misconceptions\, research methods\, and current findings in the area. Low tide will be at 9:18am and therefore\, the event will take place bright and early starting at 7:30am and wrap up by 9:30am. \nParking: \nParking is limited at the Netarts Bay View Point lot. Overflow parking will be at Netarts Bay Shellfish Parking\, which is 0.2 miles south of the Bay View Point lot. If you would like to carpool\, please refer to this google sheet where you can note if you would like to drive/be driven and your contact information. This sheet is not monitored and it is up to attendees to arrange their own transportation. \nAccessibility: \nThere is uneven terrain at this location and the site is not wheelchair accessible. If you would like to attend and have accessibility needs\, please contact danielle@tbnep.org. Prior to the event\, pictures of the site will be located on the Know Before You Go Resource page. \nWhat to Wear/Bring: \nPlease wear boots and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty! We will be in the wet sand and it will be difficult to walk without proper footwear. We also recommend bringing a water bottle\, layers for unpredictable weather on the Oregon coast\, and sunscreen. \nCost: \nThere is no cost to attend this program. Please consider supporting WEBS and TEP with tax-exempt donations. \nStay connected: \nFriends of Netarts Bay WEBS – www.netartsbaywebs.org\, Facebook and Instagram pages (@netartsbaywebs) \nTillamook Estuaries Partnership (TEP) – www.tbnep.org

SUMMARY:Invasive Species Removal at Clay Myers
DESCRIPTION:Scotch broom is an invasive species that outcompetes native plants by taking the water\, nutrients\, and sunlight they need to survive. This highly-flammable\, aggressive shrub reproduces by seed and requires consistent management. \nOn May 18th from 9am-12pm\, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership and Nestucca\, Neskowin & Sand Lakes Watershed Council are partnering with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) to remove the abundant scotch broom that has taken up at Clay Myers Natural Area. A ranger from OPRD will support volunteers in learning how to effectively cut back the plant\, mitigating the chance for reproduction. \nFeel free to join for the whole event\, or part of it. There will be signage at the entrance of the trail so folks know where the group will be. \nTEP will bring loppers and a weed wrench\, but feel free to bring your own removal materials as you wish. Other things to bring/wear include: \n\ngloves if you would like them \nlong pants and long-sleeved shirt (layers if it is hot)\nhiking boots or sturdy close-toed shoes\nWater bottle (we will have a jug for you to refill)\nSunscreen\, hat\, etc. in case it is a sunny day!\n\nDirections \nYou will turn off on Whalen Island Road from Sandlake Rd. and veer right towards Clay Myers Natural Area. You will park in the lot and we will be meeting in the grassy area near the restrooms. We will walk out on the south-most trail\, as you can see in the attached image\, and walk about a quarter mile to the location where we will be removing scotch broom. \n***THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE AT CLAY MYERS*** Please be prepared for this. \nAccessibility \nThere are some photos of this location on the Explore Nature’s Know Before You Go Resource page and more photos will be added of the trail prior to the event. The terrain is uneven and fairly sandy. If you have any accessibility needs to attend this event\, please email danielle@tbnep.org. \nBathrooms \nThere are vault toilets next to the parking lot where we will be meeting.

SUMMARY:Nurturing Natives
DESCRIPTION:Spring into action in TEP’s greenhouse! \nDo your part to help recover critical Oregon Silverspot Butterfly habitat. \nTEP is seeking volunteers to care for seedlings that will help restore coastal prairie habitat. These plants will increase the area of existing strongholds and provide pollinator species to the critically endangered Oregon Silverspot Butterfly. \nYou’ll also be able to take free seedlings home to create native pollinator habitat in your yard! \nThe events will be held on various Fridays from March to May and will all take place at TEP’s Native Plant Nursery located on the Port of Tillamook. Volunteers will be given a brief training and then let loose to help thin the overcrowded seedlings and transplant some into bigger pots. This process step is vital for the plants to maximize growth\, and we must get to it within this timeframe. \nWe are extremely excited to open our doors back up to these events\, and we hope to see you there! \nHow to come prepared: \n• Layers – Depending on greenhouse space\, some individuals may work outside\, so please dress for the weather. \n• Rain Gear. \n• Outdoor shoes\, such as boots\, are recommended. \n• Gardening/Nursery gloves\, if you have them. \n• Water and snacks\, even though we will provide some snacks. \nDirections to the site and additional information will be sent to registered attendees the week of the event. \n**Must be 18 or over to attend** We have a fantastic partnership with Oregon Youth Authority and rely on the Camp Tillamook incarcerated youth as our operations crew at the nursery. Therefore\, we cannot have minors on the property during our volunteer days. Also\, please respect the youth’s health and safety by giving them ~10ft of space. Thank you so much for understanding.

Be prepared for that! \n \nWhat: The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the most biodiverse intertidal systems\, and more kelp species than anywhere else on earth – come learn about them!  \nHere’s a chance to explore to rocky shores and learn how to identify and sustainably harvest wild seaweeds. Open your eyes to the world of beautiful marine algae\, and gain a new perspective for every beach walk.   \n \nThis workshop will go over tides\, general oceanography\, seasonal ocean conditions\, and intertidal ecology. Students will learn how to identify various PNW seaweeds (about 10-15 depending on location and what’s present). Practice seaweed identification\, learn sustainable harvest techniques\, as well as common processing and preservation methods. See examples of processed seaweeds and great identification and cooking resources.  \n \nWhat else: Foraging requires some significant walking including some potentially difficult terrain\, so please wear appropriate footgear (e.g. tennis shoes\, rainboots\, or other hiking footwear). Whatever you don’t mind getting wet that will also keep your feet stable. For your own safety and comfort\, do not wear flipflops or sandals. Do keep in mind your feet are likely to be in the water at some point\, so rainboots are what I would strongly recommend. \n \nThe Event will happen rain or shine (unless thunder-storming). If the weather looks “iffy” please bring a rain poncho\, jacket and hat. Please be prepared for any and all types of weather\, the Oregon Coast is often not predictable and we will be fully exposed to the elements. There’s a 100% chance you will get wet during this class! *If* conditions day off are not safe in this environment\, we will use what we can to demonstrate\, and teach. \n \nYou will NEED scissors or a knife. I will supply plastic bags but you may want a bucket. Bring a cooler (with ice ideally) to transport your harvest home. Please also bring a water bottle\, snacks and any other refreshments you may want during the Event. Personal medications and sunscreen are also recommended. \n \nAccesibility Information: Pictures of the event location will be posted to the Explore Nature ‘Know Before You Go‘ resource page before the event so you have an idea of the landscape. If you would like to attend the event but have accessibility needs or questions\, please reach out to danielle@tbnep.org. \n \nThis is an Explore Nature Tillamook Coast event. Explore Nature is sponsored in part by Tillamook Coast Visitors Center and Travel Oregon.
