Join the Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative, Lane County Parks Department, and the Friends of Three Mile Prairie on Saturday, October 26 from 10 AM to Noon to remove invasive Scotch broom and small trees from the Three Mile Prairie Dunes County Park in Florence, OR.

The Three Mile Prairie Dunes site provides good habitat for dunes-adapted native plants and wildlife, but is threatened by invasive weeds and vegetation. It is located north of Florence Golf Links and west of Highway 101 at Fred Meyer. It is a 15 minute walk from the northwest corner of the Fred Meyer parking lot to the work site over some sand and fairly level ground. Children and grandchildren are invited, this is a family-friendly event!

Bring closed-toe shoes, work gloves, water, and snacks. Please bring shovels, hand saws, or loppers if you have them. If you don’t, ODRC will have tools you can borrow. Dress for the weather, bring rain gear if showers are predicted. If a storm is predicted, we may cancel. Check this webpage or our Facebook page, Save Oregon Dunes, the morning of the event if the weather is questionable.

Directions: From the intersection of Highways 126 and 101 in Florence, drive north 2.3 miles and turn west into the Fred Meyer parking lot at the Fred Meyer gas station. Drive past the gas pumps and go to the northwest corner of the parking lot towards the dunes in the back. Event leaders will meet you there.

The Oregon Dunes Restoration Collaborative works to collaboratively support, guide and promote Oregon dunes restoration and the preservation of the open sand habitat that benefits the plants, animals and people who live and play in this special place.
