New lambs join flock of Scotch broom munchers at Reed Ranch

A little lamb grazes at Reed Ranch Habitat Reserve. There are signs of early spring at North Coast Land Conservancy’s Reed Ranch Habitat Reserve, and they have sweet faces and woolly bodies. These precious lambs are the latest addition
Boneyard Ridge Tree Planting Aims for Species Diversity

In rain, in sunshine, even in snow, North Coast Land Conservancy’s Land Steward Eric Owen has traveled up to Boneyard Ridge multiple times over the past several weeks to find homes for 1,400 western redcedar and 100 bigleaf maple trees.
Wildlife takes centerstage at Thompson Creek and Stanley Marsh

Nestled at the foot of a hillside housing development on the east side of Seaside, the Thompson Creek and Stanley Marsh Habitat Reserve has been part of North Coast Land Conservancy’s family of properties for about 15 years. Over that

Some great reminders from Cape Falcon Marine Reserve as we head into a new week with the promise of beautiful weather!Happy Monday! We have an absolutely beautiful week ahead of us. Many of us have plans to head to the coast and visit the beach to enjoy this bout of almost-summer weather.

However, please visit responsibly and take care of the coast, so we can all continue to enjoy it.

Some reminders:
1. Stay away from baby seals.
2. Stay out of snowy plover habitats
3. When driving, recall the rules of the road and watch for bikers and animals!
4. Figure out parking before you get here. Parking fills up fast, so have options and don't park illegally.
5. Review tide pool etiquette to protect the little critters.
6. Leave sea stacks for the birds and other creatures!
7. Don't leave food unattended and pack out what you take in.
8. Stay on designated trails when hiking to protect struggling species!
9. Learn about rules and licensing before hunting.
10. Do some research before taking rocks, shells, plants, etc. from beaches and coastal areas.
11. Check licensing, time frame, toxin levels and have the correct gear before clamming, crabbing or fishing.
12. Take any human-made debris out of nature.
13. Review beach safety, check tide tables and be wary of unusual currents and sneaker waves.
14. Check FAA maps, local websites and your surroundings before flying a drone! Most of all don't disturb wildlife!
15. Lastly, keep control of your dogs! We love them, but their beach joy can quickly turn into chaos.

North Coast Land Conservancy is in Warrenton, Oregon.

04/11/21

About halfway to its confluence with the Columbia River at the Warrenton boat basin, the 6-mile-long Skipanon River flows through a forested wetland of Sitka spruce and native crabapple.

Here — between Warrenton High School and U.S. Highway 101 — you will find our 106-acre Skipanon Forest Habitat Reserve. It is just upstream of our Little Skipanon property and east of our Skipanon Wetlands property.

Wetlands such as those found in Skipanon Forest filter out sediments, excess nutrients and pollutants. By storing water, they also protect natural and built environments by tempering the effects of storm surges and flooding! #myhappyplace #land4all

We're not exaggerating when we say the ridgeline of the proposed Rainforest Reserve is visible from locations all along the Oregon North Coast! Here it factors into the southeastern backdrop of Seaside.

Can you spot this beloved mountain range from your home or your favorite haunts on the coast?

Happy International Beaver Day!

Beavers play a critical role in the stewardship of our habitat reserves on the Oregon Coast

They are in the higher-elevation areas of Boneyard Ridge and out building dams in the salt marsh portion of Sand Lake. Other locations include Crosel Creek, Circle Creek Conservation Center, our Yeon Easement, and Blind Slough Swamp! The list goes on.

As stewardship director Melissa Reich says, "They are such an important part of all our land!"
