forested upper Skipanon
River is lush with towering
Sitka spruce, native sedges

North Coast Land Con-

ties totaling 106 acres along
the Skipanon River near
Warrenton High School. The
properties are impossible to
access on foot, so staff and
volunteers plan to ride the
tide and weed the waterway
by boat from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. Wednesday, July 27.
NCLC will provide
canoes on a space-available
basis. Volunteers may also
participate with their own
canoe or kayak. In either
case, contact Stewardship
Director Melissa Reich in
advance to her know you
are coming, to get put-in
