May 11 and May 29 - Beachgrass Identification Trainings!

Hi All-

I have teamed up with Oregon Shores CoastWatch to plan two in-person trainings about beachgrass identification, iNaturalist use, and dune ecology! If you want to learn how to tell the difference between Ammophila arenaria and Ammophila breviligulata, how to identify their interspecific hybrid, and where/when to look for the hybrid then please come on out. We'll also learn some tips for using iNaturalist, native dune plant identification and how the introduced beachgrasses dramatically changed the Pacific Northwest Coast.

Training 1: May 11th from 10am - noon. Bob Straub State Park. The field trip begins at the Bob Straub State Park parking lot. Cross the Nestucca River from central Pacific City on the Pacific Ave. bridge, then turn left on Sunset Dr. to reach the parking lot. Contact jesse@oregonshores.org to register.

Training 2: May 29th from 10am - noon. Fort Stevens State Park. The field trip begins at the parking lot near the Peter Iredale Shipwreck. Contact jesse@oregonshores.org to register.
