We loved hosting all the fourth-grade classes from Pacific Ridge Elementary School over the past couple of weeks.

We got to take the students out on the trails at Circle Creek Conservation Center for nature journaling. This is such a wonderful way that we can help them feel even more connected to our special home here on the Oregon Coast.

Here is one way to take direct action on Indigenous Peoples' Day this year!

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! 🍂

Rooted in Reciprocity is back for a second year, and we’d love for you to join us as a peer-to-peer fundraiser. Our campaign runs from today through the end of the year, with a collective goal of $15,000 for the Indigenous Land Relationship Fund (ILRF).

The ILRF is our collective action: a way for land trusts and community members to put money toward Indigenous-led projects that reclaim and reconnect to land, culture, and First Foods!

Instead of one appeal from C**T, champions of the fund each create their own campaign, set their own goal, and invite their own networks to give.

Last year, six fundraisers raised almost $10,000 in our first try. With more of you, we believe $15,000 is well within reach.

Ready to be part of this work? Donate to the fund or create your own fundraiser by visiting this link!

Reach out to Kelcie at [email protected] with questions about setting up your own page and for tips on hosting a successful fundraiser.

The fund only exists because we chose to act together. Join us in keeping it rooted in reciprocity!

Thank you for coming out to celebrate our 40th anniversary on Saturday! 🎊

We had the best time seeing our supporters, friends, and community members. What a great way to celebrate, making seed balls and pins, taking a walk on the reserve, listening to music, getting photos at our face-in-a-habitat mural, eating hotdogs and ice cream, enjoying beverages (thanks to Public Coast Brewing Co.), and spending time in the sunshine with one another. Here’s to the next four decades of coastal conservation—and much, much more.

Can you believe it’s already October? The summer flew by fast, with our stewardship team members and volunteers staying incredibly busy in the field! 🪏

Over the past couple of months, we’ve been out pulling purple loosestrife along coastal waterways, removing invasive ivy from riparian habitat, busting Scotch broom on the Clatsop Plains, and much more.

A big shoutout to our dedicated W**d Warriors and other volunteers who take on this grueling work—and bring their positive energy, to boot. 💚

Great resource from the Bird Alliance of Oregon!

Folks, we think you’re going to be excited about this one! Two of our expert birders on staff put together a fantastic resource: The Oregon Bird Migration Guide. It’s free and available on our website for you to reference year-round. This guide covers everything from terminology to a month-by-month breakdown of what happens during migration. Check it out! https://birdallianceoregon.org/go-outside/oregon-bird-migration-guide/

Happy Autumnal Equinox!

We are so excited for the change of season—for changing colors and crisp air and mushroom sightings and seasonal rains and other fall magic. 🍁

Wishing you all a wonderful start to the season.

Check out this very cool tidal marsh restoration project being done by the Lower Nehalem Community Trust!

Nine acres of Nehalem wetland are being reconnected to natural tidal flow for the first time after nearly a century. North of Wheeler and once part of a larger wetland […]

For 40 years, North Coast Land Conservancy has been asking a big question: What does it mean to care for a place for generations?

In the newest episode of Meet Us Down Here: The Thalweg Series, we head to the North Oregon Coast to talk about four decades of conservation, NCLC’s new 20-year vision for the future, and a growing idea of conservation that includes not only habitat, but drinking water, tribal access, community partnerships, and the connections between them.

It’s another piece of the story we’ve been exploring throughout this series: land, water, wildlife, and people don’t exist separately. Neither does the work of caring for them.

And there’s plenty to celebrate. NCLC is marking its 40th anniversary with a community celebration in October.
