Annual Nehalem Watershed BBQ

The Lower Nehalem Watershed Council (LNWC) invites council members, partners, friends, and the public to join them at their annual BBQ to recognize volunteers and celebrate the council’s accomplishments. LNWC is dedicated to the protection, preservation and enhancement of the Nehalem River's watershed through leadership, cooperation, and education. Since 1998, volunteers from the local area have worked to promote the mission of the council, protect and restore habitat for fish and wildlife, and provide a forum for community members to be involved in local conservation efforts. The annual BBQ is a chance for everyone to celebrate the accomplishments of the council, to thank their volunteers, to learn more about LNWC's work, and to look forward to more exciting restoration activities.

Festivities will be held on Saturday, Sept. 16, from 4-6 p.m. at Nehalem City Park, 12705 Hugo Street in Nehalem. The council will be providing food and beverages. This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to LNWC@nehalemtel.net or 503-368-7424 by Thursday, Sept. 14, to help with planning.
