ALL ABOARD! "Ride the Coastal Edge” To Learn About the Nehalem Bay Estuary, July 24, 2009
Does a train ride on the scenic water's edge sound like the perfect way to spend a summer evening? Make plans to board the train on July 24, 6 p.m. when the Lower Nehalem Community Trust and the North Coast Land Conservancy join together to offer this educational and fun excursion for the whole family. This railway trip from Garibaldi to Wheeler (with optional return trip) will carry passengers in open-air cars to experience the sights and sounds of the sweeping coastal edge lands.
Shelley Parker will be the guest interpreter on the trip as the train travels past such notable viewpoints as the Garibaldi Bar, Nedonna Beach, the Nehalem Spit, Fishers Point and the Nehalem Bay Estuary. Shelley is the Interpretive Park Ranger for Nehalem Bay State Park.
The fare, $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under, includes the train excursion, a box picnic dinner catered by Bread & Ocean in Manzanita and an opportunity to experience this scenic corridor from a new perspective. Seating is limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis and tickets are going fast! To reserve your ticket, call the LNCT office at 503-368-3203, Monday, Wednesday or Thursday, 8:00 a.m.. - 12:30 p.m. "Ride The Coastal Edge" is made possible, in part, with support from Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, Oregon State Parks and from a Friend of LNCT.
The North Coast Land Conservancy (NCLC) in Seaside and the Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) in Nehalem, are non-profit organizations that own and manage land for ecological and cultural values. These two organizations are offering this excursion as part of their ongoing education and outreach activities for the community.
