10am – Noon Nedonna Beach
Easy * No Dogs
Sponsored by Friends of Nedonna Marsh, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, Lower Nehalem Watershed Council, and Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection.
Join the Friends of Nedonna Marsh for a guided Ecological Tour of Nedonna Marsh and learn about our work to help keep this area wild.
This is an intact remnant of the original native coast. Within this area is a native saltwater marsh, a spruce/willow wetland, and a dune area with many native plants.
Coyotes, River Otters, Deer, and other wildlife make this area home, and migratory birds use it to rest and refill. Two salmon bearing streams, Jetty Creek and McMillan Creek, flow through the estuary and into Nehalem Bay.
The Marsh is privately owned and in danger of being developed. If this happens, the community will lose this special place forever.
Each walk, but some uneven ground, so best to wear sturdy shoes. Rain or Shine! Bring binoculars if you have them. No restrooms available.
Parking: Nehalem Bay South Jetty parking lot, located at the end of Beach Drive in Rockaway.
Suggested Donations, collected onsite: $5 per person over 18. Kids are Free!
