Dear Reader,

I hope you enjoyed our Marine Reserve Awareness Month activities! This is the first time we've taken on such a big venture - I am looking forward to hearing your impressions of our events, programs, kids activities, and art exhibition! Please let me know your thoughts! And be sure to get out to the Chessman Gallery in Lincoln City for the last weekend of the exhibit!

BIRD WALKS

Due to the surge of Covid cases in Tillamook County, we are cancelling the September walk to Sitka Sedge. We will keep you apprised of our decisions on future birdwalks.

BIRDING BASICS

Our fall adult education class will be at the Oregon Coast Community College in Lincoln City. The class is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, September 28 - October 7.

ROCKY HABITAT MANAGEMENT

We have been working closely with community groups along the coast, Portland Audubon, and the Dept. of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) on the amendments to Oregon's Territorial Sea Plan, Rocky Habitat Management Strategy. A revised proposal evaluation process will be heard by the Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC) later in the fall.

Our two proposals for Marine Conservation Areas at Cape Lookout and Cape Foulweather will undergo further review this winter and be heard by OPAC in the Spring. Thank you for your continued support of these efforts!

That's it for this month.
Let's keep working together for birds and nature!
