4th annual Gorse Pedal & Pull
| Calling all mountain bikers and invasive species enthusiasts: mark your calendars for the fourth annual Gorse Pedal & Pull, a fun event brought to you by the Gorse Action Group, Coos Watershed Association, Wild Coast Trails Association, 7 Devils Brewery, and local bike shops. The Pedal & Pull is a mountain bike competition where the winner is not measured in time but in pounds of gorse pulled! Grand prize is a custom-built bike with two seats from Front Street Community Bike Works, perfect for dueling gorse with your favorite passenger. Runners-up will win prizes from Blue Sky Bike Shop and Moe's Bike Shop. Free pizza and drinks for all participants (while supplies last). Open to all skill levels!
This silly competition removes a serious threat from our trail system. Gorse has devastating environmental and economic impacts on our South Coast communities. Come be part of the solution to a healthy watershed and a healthy trail system! To learn about other work being done locally on gorse, visit https://gorseactiongroup.org/. Check back here for possible weather-related updates, or follow Coos Watershed Association on social media. Questions? Contact engagement@cooswatershed.org. |
Check out our new Strategic Plan!
| We are excited to share our new Strategic Plan that will guide our organization over the next five years!
Here are our overarching goals. Visit the plan for specific outcomes and strategies. Goal 1. A community of people is empowered to care about the watershed and actively work to improve watershed health. Goal 2. Habitat in the Coos watershed is improved to support robust salmon populations and thriving communities. Goal 3. CoosWA's design protocols and monitoring methods are improved to more effectively implement projects that support long-term ecological function, stability, and resilience for all species in the watershed with an emphasis on salmonids. Goal 4. CoosWA is resilient and has sustainable human, physical, operational, and financial resources needed to achieve its mission. |
