History

The Vosburg Creek area has been and is now a forested wetlands area.  1939 aerial photos show that it once contained a baseball playing field.  Vosburg creek supports coho, chinook and chum salmon.  The property was used for a chum hatchery until about 20 years ago.   It was donated to the Lower Nehalem Community Trust in 2005.

Restoration has been focused on the removal of hatchery infrastructure, invasive plants removal, restoration of conifers and placement of large wood in the stream. 

Current Use

The Trust maintains two buildings and a trail for educational programs, and public use.
