2017 was a productive year for Oregon Chapters. Our chapters hosted more than 24 public events ranging from cleanups to educational presentations. They also helped hundreds of Oregonians create a stronger connection with special places in our state through youth surf camps and citizen science opportunities.
Take a look below for a few highlights from 2017!
Check out these highlights from each of our Chapters:
- Coos Bay - The Bandon Youth Club created an Ocean Friendly Garden
- Siuslaw - The Florence Chapter held a highway cleanup where the brand of each piece of litter was recorded
- Newport - Share What You Love - Youth Score Surf and Stewardship at 9th Annual Otter Rock and Roll Competition
