SUNDA Y AFTERNOON
HAMMOND — The Angora
Hiking Club will meet Friday,
Nov. 20 for an estuary walk
and tour of the National Oce-
anic and Atmospheric Admin-
istration Research Station.
Interested walkers should
meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Fish-
erman’s Lighthouse Museum,
located at the four-way stop in
downtown Warrenton. Hikers
will tour this museum, then
walk a level, 3-mile path along
the shoreline to the Point Ad-
ams NOAA Research Station,
located in a historic building at
the corner of Heceta Place.
This facility was ¿rst oc-
cupied by the U.S. Livesaving
Service in 1889. After many
decades of U.S. Coast Guard
service, the federal government
in 1960 chose to use this loca-
tion to support federal mari-
time missions-¿shing research.
This facility now houses a
team of NOAA ¿sheries biol-
ogists and support personnel.
Their scienti¿c work includes
Live
Presents
and includes a handbook.
The master gardener cur-
riculum provides information
on botany, soil management,
pruning techniques, integrated
pest management and more.
The classes are taught by OSU
Extension faculty, veteran mas-
ter gardeners and experts. Stu-
dents of all ages and abilities,
beginners and experienced gar-
deners alike, are welcome.
Volunteer service is a fun
time spent working on projects
such as the OSU Extension Mas-
ter Gardener Information Line,
Astoria Sunday Market or other
plant clinics, as well as hands-on
gardening. The remainder of stu-
dents’ community service may be
spent on projects such as helping
to develop a pet-friendly garden
at the animal shelter, teaching
high school students, and theS-
pring into Gardening and Winter-
izing your Garden events.
