Coming up next...
The Trails*/YIPS!** Crew (YIPS! = Yachats Invasive Plant Squad) normally meets on the first and third Saturdays of every month for two hours of work, weather permitting. We try always to accommodate everyone's interests and abilities by planning a variety of tasks on every workday. We normally meet at the north end of the Commons at about 9:25 am for orientation and instructions and disperse from there. The actual starting times may vary between 9:30 and 10:00 am but will always be specified in the e-mail announcement of the work session.
Details of the planned activities are sent out by e-mail a few days ahead of time. If you would like to get on the mailing list, contact Loren Dickinson. After work we adjourn to the Drift Inn for complimentary drinks and snacks.
* We work on the Ya Xaik trail, the Amanda trail, 804 trail, the Prospect trail, the Gerdemann public trail, and the trail system in the Commons Wetland Park.
** YIPS! work includes all trails, the Whale Park, the Prospect Garden. the Peace Park and two Sunset Parks along Ocean View Drive, and the Yachats Community Park that lies to the west of the Yachats Commons.
