As part of Power of Florence, the Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative is sponsoring a Scotch broom removal event at Heceta Dunes on Saturday, July 27 from 10 a.m. to noon. Volunteers are needed to continue our efforts to remove invasive Scotch broom from one of our “Protect the Best” sites. This is a family event, so children and friendly dogs on leash are welcome.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for hiking on the sand and bring work gloves, water, snacks, and sunscreen. 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.

Directions: Take Highway 101 north of Florence and turn left on Heceta Beach Rd., turn right on 4th Ave. and go to the end, turn right on Joshua Lane and go to the end. Please do not block driveways or mailboxes.
