This year's Pacific Northwest Conference for Oregon, Washington and BC Chapters, members and activists of Surfrider Foundation will be held in Newport, Oregon, September 23-25, 2011. Complimentary arrangements for hotel and food will be granted on a first come first serve basis (there's still some spots left!). This year's theme is Ocean Friendly Gardens (OFG), and Paul Herzog, Surfrider Foundation's OFG specialists will be traveling up to discuss the program and how members and chapters can better their gardening practices at home as well as implement various levels of programming and policy associated with Surfrider Foundation's OFG initiative. Come out and join us, meet and network with some great fellow Surfriders!
