LNCT’s Earth Day Adopt-A-Highway Litter Cleanup

April 22, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm

Come join us on Earth Day, April 22, for LNCT’s litter cleanup along Highway 101! What a great way to celebrate! You will join with neighbors to protect the beauty of our coastal highway and the health of the Nehalem River Estuary! This activity is being run in conjunction with the Oregon Adopt-A-Highway program.

When:  April 22, 2021:
8:30 – 9:00 a.m. Welcome and refreshments.
9:00 a.m. – Cleanup begins.

Where: Meet at the intersection of Highway 101 and Hemlock Street at the north edge of Wheeler. (Park anywhere on Wheeler streets where there is not a ‘No Parking’ sign)

WhoAnyone 16 years old or older. (For anyone 16 and 17 years old, please see below.*)

What: We will collect litter along Highway 101, on both sides of Wheeler, between Paradise Cove and the intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 53. Trash on this portion of Highway 101 washes into wetlands along the Nehalem Estuary, including wetlands protected and stewarded by LNCT, so this cleanup is also stewardship for LNCT’s wetlands.

We will provide safety vests, grabbers, trash bags and gloves. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for a variety of coastal Oregon weather.

*Please note:  Only persons 16 years of age or older may participate in an ODOT Adopt-A-Highway cleanup event. Please contact us if you are 16 or 17 years old and want to participate, or if you are a parent and want to bring a child along with you. For anyone 16 or 17 years of age to participate we must have a release form signed by a parent or guardian, and sent to the ODOT office, before the cleanup event.

We welcome walk-ons on the day of the event, but it will help us if you pre-register, so that we can adequately prepare for this LNCT Earth Day event! This is the link where you can register.
