A birds-eye view of our majestic northern Oregon Coast, from the Nehalem Bay to the might Columbia River. This includes portions of several areas where we work!

The confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia River influences the ecology and geology of the area in innumerable ways. Aren’t we fortunate to also be part of their story?

The beautiful Thompson Falls, at our habitat reserve in north Seaside.

Thompson Creek sees some of the highest numbers of spawning coho salmon in the Neawanna watershed. A robust beaver population helps maintain the wetland habitat along the creek and the Stanley Marsh.

Collectively, these areas comprise our approximately 83-acre Thompson Creek-Stanley Marsh habitat reserve.

Aren’t we fortunate to live in a world of water

Aren’t we fortunate to live in a world of water and trees and mushrooms and moss?

And how fortunate we are to be able to conserve and cherish and care for such splendor!

Hopefully everyone is having a beautiful fall season so far. 💚

Congratulations to our friends and partners at th

Congratulations to our friends and partners at the Neskowin Regional Water District!

They completed the first phase in a long-term vision of acquiring the part of the Hawk Creek Watershed surrounding the community’s drinking water source.

In early November, the district, with facilitation support from North Coast Land Conservancy, purchased approximately 80 acres of forested property from private landowners, Mike and Lana Kowalski. The land sits above the intake for the district’s Frank E Clanton Municipal Water Plant at the confluence of Hawk Creek and an unnamed tributary.

“The opportunity to purchase your own watershed is priceless,” says Brenda Freshman, a member of the district’s board of commissioners. “What you’re able to do, to the best of your ability, as a community, is ensure the quality of your water, in perpetuity.”

The Kowalskis are playing an instrumental part in the acquisition process. Not only are they selling the property to the district, but they’re doing so at below the appraised value of the land—or, in other words, donating a portion of it.

In a way, the transaction completes a full circle for Mike Kowalski, who helped to establish the water district in the 1970s.

“In the big picture, for the good of the community, it made sense to participate in the district’s wishes to obtain and preserve the watershed as best as they can,” Mike says.

Lana adds, “We were happy we could do something to preserve the land around Neskowin.”
