Summer is Going Great for SUP Manzanita
A great opening day to the SUP season on the Nehalem River.
What a beautiful morning on the river. I started out before my group showed up by doing a quick 6 mile paddle past Wheeler and back. No one around except some deer on the islands and some eagles flying above and some Mallards looking for some privacy and lots of swallows having out under the bridge. Got back to the dock and prepared for the class, they showed up early and that was perfect. Here are some shots of this lovely family visiting from Arizona. Their daughter is graduating from Lewis and Clark and the coast and a SUP paddle was part of a perfect way to celebrate. I am a lucky person that I get to be part of these celebrations in life!
Enjoy!

CONSERVING OUR LAND, BEACH AND SEA
At the north end of beach in Manzanita, Peregrine Point’s lush green forest rises from the sand. Lower Nehalem Community Trust manages this parcel which extends the protected lands of Oswald West State Park, the gateway to the newly established Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, creating a conservation corridor across land and sea.
Join the Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) and Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve for an easy 1 mile beach walk and explore the intersection of these protected areas. A nice morning low tide will allow the group to explore tidepools at the north end of the beach. Bright purple seastars, yellow sea slugs, crabs, and an array of algae thrive at the intersection of the new ocean reserve site and Peregrine Point.
Come discover how Oregon’s coastline weaves with the land around it. Our coastal zone welcomes the return of ocean dwelling salmon to local rivers, seasonal migrating whales, and countless birds living within our watershed. Join us as we explore this piece of the coastline and share about our efforts to conserve the coastal margin!
