Always hands-on, always educational, ALWAYS FUN!

Cherish the Chetco

Cherish the Chetco is a river cleanup event that offers multiple ways for you to help us keep the river and its banks clean and pristine.

We will offer a river float, picking up trash at various river bars along the way! Kayaks (both single and tandems), guiding, and shuttle service will likely be provided by South Coast Tours.

If you don’t wish to kayak, you’re also welcome to pick up trash at any particular location you’d like. We will have supplies (trash bags, gloves, trash pickers) at the check-in station at Alfred A. Loeb State Park.

Free lunch and celebration at Alfred A. Loeb State Park to follow- for everyone that participates.

This event will be held in August or September, exact date TBD.

Redfish Rocks on the Docks

This is a community event in Port Orford, celebrating the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve and community’s dedication to clean water, local economy and stewardship. This event is planned by a partner, and has NOT been scheduled for 2025 yet. Stay tuned…

The CWP’s Stream Trailer is an excellent tool we deploy to teach about non-point source pollution run-off, best management practices, and how it affects aquatic life in rivers and in the near-shore marine habitats.

The Monarch Festival

This event is planned by partners, and no date set for 2025 yet. Stay tuned!

The YEP works with volunteers to lead a life-size butterfly life cycle station at the annual Monarch Festival, held in Brookings, OR. Visitors of all ages are invited to make the beautiful metamorphosis into an adult butterfly, and then parade around the festival wearing butterfly wings.

Stream Trailer

The Stream Trailer is an inter-active watershed model that teaches audiences aging from 2-102 about watersheds, non-point source pollution, riparian zones, hydrologic cycle, salmon life cycle, estuaries and SO MUCH MORE!!!

We also now have a “table top” model of a watershed as well to better serve smaller groups and classrooms. Reach out to find out more!
