Autumn is a dynamic time of year on the Necanicum Estuary as nature adapts to the shifting seasons.  Join North Coast Land Conservancy as we explore this extraordinary place on both land and water, and see some of the over 500 acres that NCLC holds in conservation there.  The day begins with a gathering at NCLC’s Neawanna Point property at the north end of Seaside at 10:00am for coffee and treats.  A nature walk follows at Neawanna Point, led by local geologist and NCLC board member Tom Horning.

Or, you can head off to the Broadway Park boat launch in Seaside for a canoe trip up Neawanna Creek led by NCLC board member Doug Ray, with help from Sunset Empire Parks and Recreation District.  NCLC canoe space is limited, so call 503 738-9126 to reserve your spot.  You can also bring your own kayak or canoe and join the trip. The canoe trip leaves around 10:30 am, and will take approximately 3 hours round trip.

This event is free of charge, and takes place outdoors, so dress appropriately for the day’s weather.
