What is
WEBS?
Friends of Netarts Bay Watershed, Estuary, Beach, and Sea (you can call us WEBS for short) is the brainchild of the late Jim Mundell, longtime Netarts resident and community leader. Jim dreamed of an organization that would raise awareness, provide learning opportunities, and encourage stewardship of the natural and cultural resources of the Netarts Bay area. WEBS continues his dream to sustain the Netarts Bay area through education and stewardship.
WEBS strives to:
● Use the Netarts Bay area as a learning lab and environmental model for watersheds, estuaries, beaches and seas.
● Build a “learning community” between Cape Meares and Cape Lookout that encourages people to become lifelong learners about the area and engage in stewardship of its rich natural and cultural history.
● Build partnerships with other organizations and people that will increase community pride in this special place and contribute to the vitality of the area.
● Collaborate with local education organizations.

From waves and wind to wings and wheels! 🌊💨✈️ Our Geology & Energy field trip took off at the @tillamookair after a last-minute weather pivot — and it couldn’t have been better. Big thanks to the Air Museum for saving the day and giving our 4th graders the perfect space to explore rocks, erosion, and energy in action! ⚡️A huge thanks to our wonderful STEAM coach volunteers who bring the learning stations to life. This time we also had George Fox Elementary Educations college students come support our program, as part of a great partnership we’ve built along the years. Team work makes the dream work!Button

Hi everyone, this is Marina, WEBS’ Stewardship Coordinator! If you know me, you know that I really love trees. Especially big, old trees. This summer, I finally had the opportunity to visit the California redwoods, and they did not disappoint! So I was over the moon when I learned that we’d get to plan redwoods for our final Stewardship Day of the season! We’ll be planting a small test grove to see how the redwoods do at Cape Lookout. We are north of their normal range, but with climate change, conditions in our area are likely to become more favorable for redwoods, while rising temperatures, drought, and fire threaten the southern end of their range. We’ll be planting on the North Trail at Cape Lookout where several fallen trees have caused trail closures over the past few years. With their strong, rot-resistant wood, we hope that redwoods will be a sustainable choice for this area. I hope you’ll be able to join us on Wednesday, October 22nd, to get our redwoods in the ground! In the meantime, please enjoy some photos of me ogling at these magnificent trees. 🔗 Visit www.netartsbaywebs.org/events to register.Button

Last weekend, we celebrated our volunteers with a special event to say thank you. Our volunteers are the heart of WEBS — with only 4 staff members, we couldn’t possibly run field trips for 80+ students at a time, remove truckloads of ivy, clean dozens of pounds of marine debris, or keep our participants safe in the bay and tide pools without your support. We also want to say thank you to the local businesses who provided donations to help us appreciate our volunteers. You all make this community such a special place. #netartsbaywebs #volunteerappreciationButton
