The Us Tree

Back in early May of this year, at the height of our quarantine from nearly everything, I sat at my computer and wrote a small essay about some trees that had entered my life over the past few years. When
A Connection to the Ancient Past at Butterfield Fen

A visit to the Gearhart Fen is “just like walking into a museum,” ecologist and botanist Kathleen Sayce says. She would know. Kathleen has spent many hours documenting the plant life in the fen, much of which is conserved as
Life in the gutter

What some might perceive as a homeowner’s maintenance nightmare, others—such as biologist, photographer, and NCLC co-founder Neal Maine—see as the opportunism of wild nature, asserting itself. The change of seasons has inspired Neal to dig out some of his favorite

Meet the common nighthawk (Chordeiles minor), one of the birds species recorded in the proposed Rainforest Reserve! 🌲

According to the American Bird Conservancy, the name “nighthawk” is a bit misleading, since this bird is neither strictly nocturnal nor closely related to hawks. Due to its erratic, acrobatic flight-style, the bird also has been given the nickname “bullbat.”

Common nighthawks eat several kinds of insects, including moths, mosquitoes and grasshoppers. They most often hunt at dawn and dusk, but they will also occasionally forage during the day in overcast weather. ☁️

The common nighthawk population is generally in decline in North America because of pesticide use and loss of habitat.

A bird’s eye view of the proposed Rainforest Reserve! 🐦

Speaking of birds, close to 90 bird species use this area as habitat, including state species of concern. Conserving this 3,500-acre property is a way to protect and maintain that habitat—better known as their home.

Over the next few days, we’ll introduce you to some of these awesome bird species! Stay tuned!

Just a little (or rather big) Nuphar polysepala root found at Clear Lake!

This species of Nuphar, commonly known as the great yellow pond-lily, is native to North America. It grows in shallow water and wetlands.

Both the leaves and rootstocks have various medicinal purposes, and the leaves also provide shelter for fish. 🐟

"At the end of summer and on into October, our Pacific crabapple really shows us what it’s made of, literally. There’s nothing on the Oregon coast quite like the display of fruit that this little tree puts on.

Because they ripen so late in the season and are so incredibly prolific, the Pacific crabapple is an important part of the coast ecology and the rhythm of nature. It’s that last blast of energy for migratory songbirds or for local critters heading into the long, wet winter." — NCLC Volunteer Jeff Roehm

Great news! We've been awarded a $400,000 grant from M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust for the proposed Rainforest Reserve.

That means we now have procured $9.3 million for the project, leaving $700,000 (that's right – only $700,000!) yet to be raised. With our goal in sight, we now appeal to the community to complete fundraising for this landmark conservation effort on Oregon's North Coast.

According to executive director Katie Voelke, "This grant award launches us into the last stretch of this marathon campaign. It’s all hands in now. Every donation counts."
