Moonlight Paddle and Fall Migration Birding With the South Slough Reserve
The South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (South Slough NERR) in Charleston Oregon, is one of our most valuable natural attractions here on Oregon’s South Coast. This 5,000 acre natural area is a place like no other. It encompasses a mixture of open water channels, tidal and freshwater wetlands, riparian areas, forested uplands and open water habitats.
The South Slough NERR offers the public unforgettable encounters with nature like guided birding, kayaking, hiking, and endless educational opportunities and workshops in their Interpretive Center. There is truly something for everyone here. In honor of National Estuaries Week, we are highlighting two events coming up at South Slough NERR. You can learn more about these and other events on their Facebook page or by visiting www.southsloughestuary.org.
