This event is a restoration project for the forested area at LeRoy Haagen park. A multitude of animals call this forest home: red tail hawks, native ground bees, rabbits, and is visited by deer and the occasional kestrel and bald eagle. Typical projects vary depending on the time of year, but include English ivy, Holly, and Himalayan blackberry removal, and mulching for Shiny Geranium and Herb Robert control. When this event began in 2015, there was a near carpet of eight different invasive plants. Because of that, there are very few young native trees. From September to February we will be planting a small number of native seedlings gathered from neighbors. June 15th from 10 AM to 12 PM Meet at NE LeRoy Haagen Memorial Park Google maps - https://goo.gl/maps/foVr8oqcHjE2

We meet near the restrooms at the top of the stairs at Devil's Punchbowl, Otter Rock, OR - map If you're coming to this event, please email chair@newport.or.surfrider.org to let Scott know to expect you and have equpment available for you. . .

5th Annual Clean Up the Mountain Event To Be Held on June 22, 2019 The Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and SOLVE (Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism) invites the public to come help clean up public lands at the 5th Annual Bald Mountain Forest Clean-up event on Saturday, June 22rd, 2019. We ask you to meet at the Sheridan Peak kiosk on Bald Mountain Road at 8:30 a.m., to pick up trash large and small. We will be serving BBQ Hot Dogs, chips and water for all the volunteers beginning at 11:00 a.m. Volunteers should wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, work gloves and sturdy shoes or work boots. Bring rain gear, just in case! Come get your hands dirty, meet some wonderful people and help keep our forests clean! Since 2015, volunteers have removed over 25 tons of garbage and over 180 tires from the forest. Although a large amount of garbage has been removed over the last four years, dump sites in the forest continue to be a major issue. Please join us for this year’s event! Unsightly garbage is harmful to plants and animals. It can pollute water sources and promote the growth of noxious weeds. Dumping on private forest lands has resulted in many land owners closing their lands to public access. Make a difference and join us on June 22rd!

The Roads End Improvement Association (REIA) is again sponsoring its annual July 5th Roads End beach clean-up on the morning of July 5th from 9 am- 1 pm. This will be the fourth year for our event. Roads End is a very popular tourist destination on the 4th of July. In previous clean-ups we have picked up not only fireworks debris, but also broken bottles and other glass in the sand from bottle rockets, found large campfires with plastic bottles and cans, cigarette butts and lots of other trash. If left on the beach, these present a public safety hazard for children, adults and pets, as well an environmental crisis for wildlife and for the ocean. In 2016 we organized the first beach clean-up and attracted 65 volunteers who collected 68 bags of debris totaling 460 pounds of trash. In 2017, we recruited 75 volunteers and collected just as much trash. In 2018, we had 64 volunteers who collected a staggering 854 pounds of beach debris! Working in conjunction with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, we managed to bag all of the debris and have it hauled away by the Park Rangers. We intend to replicate our project again this year and encourage residents and tourists alike to join us for this fun event!
