In late spring and early summer, North Coast Land Conservancy’s Necanicum Forest Habitat Reserve in Clatsop County is blanketed with a sweet stillness that draws your attention to the songs of birds splashing on the banks of the Necanicum River and
Aphids at Circle Creek: What you need to know

Have you noticed some of the Sitka spruce trees at North Coast Land Conservancy’s Circle Creek Conservation Center—or other locations in the region—looking a little brown? That’s the doing of spruce aphids, which suck the sap from the tree needles.

Sand Creek consists of three donated properties, but they are managed as one because of their connectivity. They are part of an extensive wetland system in the Warrenton/Hammond region at the heart of our Columbia Quiet Waters initiative.

The Sand Creek wetlands retain open water during seasons of high rainfall but do dry out in the summer.

This entire system stores large volumes of water, and thus mitigates flooding on the south end of Warrenton. It is also used extensively by resident and migratory birds throughout the year. #land4all

In late spring and early summer, our Necanicum Forest Habitat Reserve in Clatsop County is blanketed with a sweet stillness that draws your attention to the songs of birds splashing on the banks of the Necanicum River and the rich, earthy scent wafting from a forest floor that is covered in wood sorrel and stream violet, among other native plants.

The habitat reserve is adjacent to Klootchy Creek County Park, which creates an uninterrupted 1.7-mile stretch of conserved Necanicum River corridor and contains more than a quarter-mile of Klootchy Creek frontage.

Doing a bit of amphibian surveying in the proposed Rainforest Reserve! It's important to know what plant and wildlife species currently inhabit those peaks.

A few of the species we spotted yesterday include the coastal tailed frog (which we previously expected to be up there but now have confirmed!) and young torrent salamanders. 💚 So cool!

Today we celebrate United Nations World Oceans Day

Today we celebrate United Nations World Oceans Day, which is the perfect opportunity to critically think about the impact of human actions on the ocean, and how we can individually and collectively contribute to the sustainable management of the world's oceans.

According to the UN, World Oceans Day “reminds everyone of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. They are the lungs of our Planet and a major source of food and medicine and a critical part of the biosphere.”

Although we are a land conservancy, there is no separating how our actions on the land impact the ocean and vice versa. Everything is connected in a meaningful way. 💚
