Native Plant Spotlight: Oregon Stonecrop

Oregon stonecrop grows out of rocks in the Rainforest Reserve. There is no shortage of beautiful and interesting plants on the Oregon Coast—it would be difficult for anyone to choose a favorite! That being said, several of our team members

This bobcat is *not* ready for their closeup, Mr. DeMille.

But our land steward Eric had just enough seconds to pull out his camera and take a picture before it scampered off across the road!

A fun sighting to accompany a trip up to Boneyard Ridge to check the access roads and clear them of fallen trees.

North Coast Land Conservancy is in Seaside, Oregon.

05/16/22

Last week, volunteer Site Steward Jeff Roehm took a long walk along the north end of our Circle Creek Conservation Center, where the Necanicum River turns away from U.S. Highway 101 and heads west along the border into the Seaside Golf Course.

While most people associate Circle Creek with the barn and pasture of the former dairy farm—the focus of our active habitat restoration on the property—one of the important aspects of his job as Site Steward is to check on the rest of the reserve as well.

Here’s a little glimpse into Jeff’s monitoring visit last week:

“When I reached the north end of the property, and after I'd inspected some invasive yellow-flag iris as promised, I turned and headed west toward the golf course,” he says. “Pretty soon I was far off the beaten path and heading through the tangled swamp that guards our northwest property corner. Then I came to my senses. I'd promised to not to do the swamp by myself. But on the way back I decided to visit a place I knew well. It needed a visit and it was right over there.”

“This photo is of a large fishing hole that marks the point on Circle Creek Habitat Reserve where the property border leaves the bank of the Necanicum. As it turns out, this was one of my favorite spots to fish for bluebacks (sea-run cutthroat trout) when I was a kid growing up in Seaside. In the distance, you can see the bridge over the Necanicum on the fifth hole of the golf course.”

Wonderful notes, Jeff. Thank you.

Did you have a previous bad experience in a tangled swamp while alone?

Hi, Jeff! Keep it up :-)

What a beautiful, peaceful spot. Thank you for sharing this picture.

Thank you for the work that you do.

What a pleasure to see a pair of ospreys building

What a pleasure to see a pair of ospreys building a nest on one of our habitat reserves by the Skipanon River in Warrenton!

What makes it particularly cool is that they’re nesting on a tree. Nowadays, in our area, it’s more common to see ospreys nesting on a pole.

“It’s the most classic nest,” says Neal Maine, who first spotted it and got this beautiful photo. "I'm as excited about the tree itself."

Osprey pairs are generally monogamous and often mate for life. Building the nest is part of the early courtship ritual.

Stay tuned for the next chapter of this pair’s life together as we keep an eye on them over the next few months! #nclcospreys

It's that time of year again! Our 2022 field seaso

It's that time of year again! Our 2022 field season is back in full swing, and we have several hands-on stewardship opportunities coming up in the next few months.

We are so grateful to our volunteers who contribute to coastal conservation by helping us with the tough jobs—liking removing scotch broom. You're amazing!

Smokey, is that you? Maybe a distant relative? Or it could just be a little forest-dwelling black bear taking a stroll in the Rainforest Reserve.

After all, they are known to den in caves created by fallen basalt boulders in the reserve.

Thanks for the photo, Green Oregon!
