EXPLORIENCE Cutler City Open Space, a unique wooded wetlands habitat. Large trees host species such as Pileated Woodpecker, while the marshy brush is home to Common Yellowthroat and other songbirds. We'll look for early fall migrants, then move on to Siletz Bay where we’ll watch for migrating shorebirds.

If you are able, please stay after the walk and help us manage the invasive ivy in this open space. Ivy is destructive to the trees and needs to be removed. Our City-approved process is to simply "girdle" the ivy (not haul it out; City staff will do that), and we have plenty of tools and gloves. Thank you!

Location: Meet at the pull-out on SW 63rd west off Hwy 101.

Directions: From HWY 101 in south Lincoln City, turn west onto SW 63rd St. and continue for 0.2 mi to find the pull-out on the right.
