Contact Mike Johnson at 503-381-8173 SEASIDE — Each Wednesday now through Sept. 14, the North Coast Land Conservan- cy stewardship crew will host Weed Warrior Wednesdays, a weekly event to tackle various projects on NCLC lands. Staff and volunteers are welcome to join any or all Wednesdays this summer. Stewardship events will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Meet at the barns at Circle Creek Habitat Reserve, and work will often take place somewhere on that property. Sometimes volunteers will carpool to another site, de- pending on what the steward- ship crew determines to be the priority for that day. W³ days will usually consist of weed removal ac- tivities but may include other kinds of projects, such as trail building and maintenance, native plant caretaking, and site cleanups. Why join NCLC for these projects? For fun — and also to help take care of NCLC lands and to assist the stewardship team in its duties. The crew is looking forward to connecting more with the community through W³, ERIC RYAN ANDERSON/COURTESY OF THE ARTIST Blind Pilot will perform at the Liberty Theater on Aug. 19.
