Weeds.
We don’t like them and we’re assuming our Riverwalk
doesn’t either. The North Coast Watershed Association,
the Youngs Bay Watershed Council and the Nicolai-Wickiup Watershed
Council are sponsoring the first annual Astoria Riverwalk
Weedeaters Event on September 25th, 10 am to 1 pm. Remove
(ob)noxious weeds like Scotch Broom and Blackberries along
the Riverwalk (trash too!). Work with others who love the
Columbia River and learn from trained volunteers about all
types of plants on the north coast! We’ll even bring
lunch, water, gloves and photos of our least favorite plants.
You bring loppers, a shovel, reusable water bottle if you
have one, and an appetite for destruction. We have some tools
to loan out if you don’t have any, so it’s okay
to come empty handed. We’ll be partnering with SOLV,
Columbia Riverkeeper and others for this fun event. Please
wear boots (we have some if you call ahead). Call Jesse at
the 503.325.0435 x12 to RSVP or email jjones@columbiaestuary.org.
Check in on the SOLV website and here for updated “where
to meet” and parking instructions. If you live in Astoria,
we encourage you walk or bike.
NCWA Donates Logs to Habitat Restoration
Posted September 7, 2008
The North Coast Watershed Association collected over 60 logs
after the December, 2007 storm. Forty-five of the logs were
donated to the Columbia Land Trust, who used the logs on a
restoration project in the summer, 2008.

The NCWA will likely be receiving additional grant funds this
winter to collect blowdown and use the trees to provide beneficial
habitat for multiple species, including juvenile salmon.
