Get outside and stretch your wings over Memorial Day Weekend! The Lower Nehalem Community Trust invites you to Alder Creek Farm from 10am to 1pm on Sunday, May 25th for the annual Lower Nehalem Migratory Bird Day Celebration.
The Oregon Coast is home to many bird lovers, but as human-centered infrastructure alters habitats globally, how can we ensure that our communities remain beloved by birds? This year’s international theme, ‘Shared Spaces’ asks us to consider how our neighborhoods, villages, and
cities can become safer and more welcoming to birds. No matter where you live, you can make a positive impact. Whether dimming your lights at night, planting natives, or saying no to plastics, we all have access to small yet powerful actions to make our communities more bird friendly.
Join one of two guided bird walks beginning at 10 and 11:30 a.m., embark on a local bird scavenger hunt, and talk to many of the fantastic local organizations supporting conservation, education, and wildlife rehabilitation in our region. Peer through the spotting scope at what’s flitting along the riparian areas of Alder Creek or dipping into the seasonal wetland at the ‘Big Sit’ station! Kids will enjoy the interpretive stations and activities hosted by Hoffman Center for the Arts, Bird Alliance of Oregon, Seven Capes Bird Alliance, Haystack Rock Awareness Program, Oregon State Parks and Wildlife Center of the North Coast.
This is a family-friendly event with something for bird lovers of every age! If you would like to volunteer at this event, please contact maijahecht@nehalemtrust.org. We hope to see you there!
