This past Saturday, Surfrider Foundation Newport Chapter joined forces with The Oregon Coast Aquarium Youth Volunteers to remove Scot’s Broom (an invasive species) from South Beach State Park. "As a part of our continued stewardship program with the South Beach State Park, we enjoyed coming out and putting in a few hours of physical labor and community service to make the day use area a little nicer. The participation of the Youth Volunteers from the Oregon Coast Aquarium in this event was fantastic. Pulling Scot's Broom is hard work, but the results are gratifying and immediate," says Newport Chapter's acting Vice Chair, Joe Haxel. Additionally, the chapter was able to get the event accepted through SOLV's Project Oregon Program, bringing out the best of SOLV’s motto:"When people get together things get done."
