Community Calendar

🌊 Join the City of Eureka, PacOut Green Team, and STIL for the bi-monthly Trash Bash! This waterfront cleanup will take place on June 6 from 9am-10:30am, meet at the foot of Vigo St. next to MOD Pizza.
🥯Come early at 8:45am and enjoy breakfast kindly donated by Los Bagels! When you arrive, you will need to sign in and get supplies.
📷 We always end with a group photo and raffle! Want to donate? Call at 707-441-4206 to sponsor this event.
📅This event occurs every other month on the first Saturday. Next event will be August 1 at the Hikshari Trail entrance at the end of Hilfiker Lane.

Join us at Willow-Witt Ranch for The Crest’s 7th Annual Turtle Trot—a true trail race with heart (and breakfast)! Choose the 5K or 10K on rolling single-track through meadows, wetlands, oak woodlands, and native conifer forest, or bring the whole family for a joyful Fun Run for all ages.

Starting at 4,500’ and climbing to nearly 5,000’, the courses feature elevation, varied terrain, and sweeping views of Mount Shasta, Pilot Rock, and Mt. Ashland. The 10K doubles the challenge with a second lap run in reverse, ensuring you experience the views from every angle.

After the finish, stay for what many say is the best part: a communal, made-from-scratch post-race breakfast shared around long tables, followed by a hands-on Western Pond Turtle learning session. Run hard, eat well, linger and learn. All proceeds support The CREST in our mission to connect people and nature.

Join us once a month for a welcoming, hands-on art program designed especially for neurodivergent adults and families. Each session invites participants to explore a different art medium in a relaxed, judgment-free environment where creativity is encouraged and process matters more than the final product.

Together, we’ll experiment with painting, unconventional materials, and tactile, hands-on techniques to create unique works of art. This program is all about having fun, trying new things, and connecting with others through creative expression. No prior art experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

All abilities and experience levels are welcome. Come as you are, make a little mess, and be part of a creative, supportive community.

Meet our facilitator:

Hello all! My name is Amelia and I am a local muralist and artist with a goal of cultivating community through the power of creativity. Increasing accessibility to art and empowering others to explore mediums without judgement is my mission. As a self taught artist, I have learned that patience and practice are key elements when mastering a craft. The inspiration behind much of my work involves nature, and noticing the little things.

I believe in sharing knowledge and supporting one another in treating our world, and each other, better.
