Thinning Party at TEP Nursery

Spring into action at TEP’s Native Plant Nursery!

Do your part to help recover critical Oregon Silverspot Butterfly habitat.

TEP is seeking volunteers to care for seedlings that will help restore coastal prairie habitat. These plants will increase the area of existing strongholds and provide pollinator species and species diversity to coastal meadows.

The events will be held on Fridays, starting in April through May, and will take place at TEP's Native Plant Nursery located on the Port of Tillamook. Volunteers will be given a brief training and then let loose to help transplant seedlings into bigger pots.

We are extremely excited to open our doors back up to these events, and we hope to see you there!

How to come prepared:

• Layers - Depending on greenhouse space, some individuals may work outside, so please dress for the weather.

• Rain Gear.

• Outdoor shoes, such as boots, are recommended.

• Gardening/Nursery gloves, if you have them.

• Water and snacks, even though we will provide some snacks.

Directions to the site and additional information will be sent to registered attendees the week of the event.

We have a fantastic partnership with Oregon Youth Authority and the incarcerated youth at Camp Tillamook are the nursery crew. Therefore, we cannot have minors on the property during our volunteer days.

Please respect the youth’s health and safety by giving them space.

Thank you so much for understanding.
