North Coast Land Conservanc (NCLC)

Stewardship the organization's stewardship program empowers and supports staff and community volunteers to meet its minimum core standards for maintaining ecological integrity of the Land it is responsible for and, when fiscally and ecologically feasible, go above and beyond in order to move sites toward a self-sustaining ecosystem habitat enhancement and restoration based on the best available science. The organization works to instill stewardship in the community by sharing its commitment to Land conservation and by providing opportunities for people to enjoy and work on the lands it conserves. The stewardship program hosts a number of public volunteer events as a way to accomplish habitat goals. In 2023 nclc held weekly work parties with community volunteers from april thru november.

Conservation the conservation program builds strong relationships with local landowners and with local, state, and national organizations in order to voluntarily protect Land with high ecological and cultural values along the North Oregon Coast. The organization uses science and local knowledge to create conservation plans, and then works strategically to conserve the highest priority areas. Conservation is achieved through fee title acquisitions and conservation easements. As of september 30, 2023, the organization had conserved 8,435 acres in 4 counties.

Education and outreach the organization builds strong community support for the conservation and stewardship work of the Land trust through effective communications, engaging outreach programs and strategic partnerships with other organizations. The organization's outreach program uses events on the Land and presentations up and down its service area to foster deeper connections to the work of the Land trust and to the Land that it holds in conservation, leading to a greater community support of local conservation.
