Bust broom this May
Join North Coast
Land Conservancy,
remove invasive
Scotch broom
WARRENTON — North Coast
North Coast Land Conser-
vancy is seeking volunteers
to clear Scotch broom from
its Reed Ranch Habitat Re-
serve from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Wednesday, May 18.
Each May, NCLC works
to remove invasive Scotch
broom from its properties
and encourages its neighbors
on the Oregon Coast to do
the same.
This year the conser-
vancy’s focus is on the
coastal prairie and Neacoxie
Wildlife Corridor. On May
18, NCLC will be targeting
the remaining Scotch broom
missed by the forestry
mulcher that removed large
swaths of broom last winter
from the steeper dune slopes
at 117-acre Reed Ranch,
west of Cullaby Lake.
Anyone interested in
volunteering is asked to
contact NCLC Stewardship
Director Melissa Reich at
503-738-9126 or melissar@
nclctrust.org for more details
or directions. Volunteers
should wear sturdy boots
and gloves and bring drink-
ing water and lunch.
Property owners are en-
couraged to remove Scotch
broom and other invasive

Favorite stop to & from the Coast
plants from their own
properties during May —
“Broom-Buster Month” on
the Oregon Coast. Widely
planted and admired in the
early 20th century for its
bright yellow blossoms,
Scotch broom out-com-
petes native plants and
is turning open coastal
prairies into a monoculture
of dense, weedy shrubs,
destroying the habitat that
many coastal animals need
to survive.

broom from your property,
