Sand Lake, these meaning- ful, outdoor experiences highlight the beauty of Tillamook County and the work being done to protect the area’s natural resources and natural resource-based economies. This effort is partially funded by the Eco- nomic Development Council of Tillamook County and Visit Tillamook Coast. With a vision to protect wildlife habitats on the Ne- halem estuary, a small group of local residents purchased Alder Creek Farm in 2002 from William and Carole Anderson, who ran a fam- ily dairy there beginning in the late 1950s. Founders Vivi Tallman, Tom Bender, Lane DeMoll, Judy Sorrel, Gareth and Georgenne Fer- dun, and Doug Firstbrook didn’t know exactly how it would all work out when they purchased the farm. But many showed up to help out, and with donations from local supporters, the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, and the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture’s Natu- ral Resources Conservation Service, Lower Nehalem Community Trust was born. Lower Nehalem Com- munity Trust is a commu- nity land trust dedicated to preserving land and nurturing conservation values in partnership with an engaged community in the Nehalem region of the Oregon Coast. Its commu- nity garden at Alder Creek Farm is that rare place where 40 volunteers come together to grow food to share with families and neighbors served by the North County Food Pantry in Wheeler. Every year the community garden donates more than a ton of fresh or- ganic fruits and vegetables. In addition to the garden, the farm hosts a native plant nursery, greenhouse, fruit orchard, and ethnobo- tanical trail. After the farm tour, guests are welcome to take a self-guided tour of the native plant nursery, community garden and orchard.
