Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce

04/13/2026

Two Fridays. One team. A whole lot of good work.

The CREST crew has been rolling up their sleeves cleaning out our shop and lending a hand at the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership's Northwest Oregon Restoration Partnership nursery as they gear up to grow native plants that will be planted at habitat restoration sites next winter.

Restoration doesn't happen in isolation. It takes partners, volunteers, and people willing to show up. We are incredibly grateful for our team and for the community we get to work alongside.

Join us next Tuesday at Fort George Brewery for a benefit night kicking off Earth Month! All day long, 10% of food and drink sales at Fort George will benefit our mission. In addition, a few members of our staff will be around from 5-8pm with some activities and more information to share about our work. And in honor of Earth Month, Estuary Partnership donors who show up get a special gift. We hope to see you next Tuesday!
