Help Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative volunteers remove Scotch broom at the Sandtracks Picnic Area on Horsfall Rd., Saturday, June 8 from 10AM to Noon. If you need to leave early or want to work later, you are welcome to do so. We will be removing mature Scotch broom plants on level to moderately sloping terrain. The day use fees at the site will be waived for the people working at this event.

Help Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative volunteers remove Scotch broom at Heceta Dunes on Saturday, June 15 from 10AM to Noon. Meet at the east end of Joshua Lane. If you need to leave early or want to work later, you are welcome to do so. We will walk out to the lake near the tree island and work our way back to the entrance removing mostly small broom plants from where we have worked in the past. The hike is on relatively level ground. Heceta Dunes is one of the "Protect the Best" sites due to the open sand sheets and native grasses.
