Reed Ranch Habitat Reserve

May is Broom Busting Month at North Coast Land Conservancy! Come help our stewardship team remove Scotch broom from Reed Ranch Habitat Reserve, located in the Clatsop Plains. This invasive shrub threatens coastal prairie habitat by fixing nitrogen and forming a dense monoculture that can out-compete other native plants.

TO BRING: Sturdy boots and clothing, snacks and water for yourself. NCLC will provide tools and gloves, but feel free to bring your own. Loppers and handsaws are particularly handy for Scotch broom.

There is no potable water at the site and no toilets. Dogs are not allowed on any NCLC properties.
