Though a velvety lawn is the first element seen, the most outstanding feature is the use of foliage color and texture, mixed with creatively designed retaining walls. Loren Dennis also constructed a waterfall (yes, it uses a recycling pump) as part of the retain ing wall. Vernonia Cares started the Yard of the Month program this year, with nomina tions accepted from throughout the community. Salmon watching site developed A rustic picnic table and benches are now nestled by the water just south of the Rock Creek Bridge, behind Shay Park. Though this spot is enticing on a warm summer day, it was de veloped so people could comfortably watch salmon on their upstream journey during spawning season. Construction was done by volunteers with the Upper Nehalem Watershed Council.
