Help rebuild a staircase, and clean up the beach in Oswald West State Park

ARCH CAPE — The Portland Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, the Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve and car rack company ReRack will host an Action Day at the scenic Oswald West State Park, and the public is invited to join in.

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, volunteers will team up with the Oregon Parks And Recreation Department to work on rebuilding a staircase leading down to the beach.

There will also be a beach cleanup; volunteers can pick up debris and trash left behind by recent big swells and forgetful beach-goers.

Organizers are planning a thank-you party after the Action Day event at San Dune Pub in Manzanita; if the weather looks favorable, organizers may host a barbecue and social gathering on the beach.

Surfrider Foundation is a grassroots nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the world’s oceans and beaches through conservation and activism.
