The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is one of the largest expanses of temperate coastal sand dunes in the world. Join us for a guided hike with members of the Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative (ODRC) to learn about this special place. Hike leader Dina Pavlis (ODRC and NPSO-Portland member) will lead us through the forest and across open sand, sharing about the history, ecosystems and plants of the Oregon dunes. After exploring native plants on the open sand and along tree islands, the hike will continue into a wetland area. During the hike, Dina will discuss how the dunes formed, the importance or the open sand habitat for native plants and animals, why open sand is disappearing, and the efforts in place to try to save the open sand habitat. Register by emailing di**@kx**.net.Parking: A parking pass is required for this event and can be purchased on site for $5 per vehicle. A Northwest Forest Pass, Oregon Coast Pass or Golden Age Pass may be used in lieu of the parking fee.
