The Crossover at Plymouth Long Beach will open for the season on Saturday, May 29. The Crossover will be open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, subject to restrictions for nesting shorebirds and tidal conditions.
So far this season, 31 pairs of piping plovers have nested at Long Beach, and there are several more pairs that have not laid eggs yet. Least terns have returned and are settling into their nesting colonies, and common terns have returned to the point and have begun egg laying. Ospreys returned to all three nests again this year, and several more species of songbirds and shorebirds have also returned to nest at Long Beach this season.

About the project
The mission of the Companion Western Oregon State Forest Management Plan and Implementation Plans project is to develop a companion FMP and IPs for the State Forests Division that implement the economic, environmental and social values required of state forests in conjunction with strategies outlined in the draft Western Oregon State Forest Habitat Conservation Plan. Forest Management Plans provide long-term management direction and establish strategic approaches for meeting resource management goals. Implementation Plans (IPs) are developed to detail how management strategies that are outlined in the FMP will be applied for smaller management units (i.e. specific geographic areas).
