Lessons in Resilience
In every walk
with nature
one receives
far more
than he seeks.
John Muir
For Christmas this year, my mother gave me
a LEGO kit for a scale-model 1962 VW
camper van: 1,400 little pieces, ready to
assemble. One look, and I was instantly
transported back to 1982 and the nineweek road trip I took with my family that
fall. I don’t remember many details of the
trip—I was only four years old—but one
place I remember clearly: Yellowstone
National Park. Bison, rivers of warm water,
geysers, and vast wilderness: I had never
seen anything like it. I returned as a college
student to study wolf and grizzly ecology.
Between those two visits, the great wildfires
of 1988 had swept through Yellowstone,
and much of the park still looked blackened
and barren nine years later.
A decade after that I returned to Yellowstone once again and was stunned to find
a wealth of plant and animal species thriving in that once-scorched landscape.
You didn’t have to be a scientist to see that the fires weren’t actually devastating
but cleansing, changing the landscape but leaving it healthy, strong and beautiful.
Those lessons from Yellowstone have served me well this past year. As a staff,
we were devastated when fire destroyed our offices in December 2012. But
North Coast Land Conservancy itself wasn’t devastated. It emerged as a different
organization but one that is healthy, strong and beautiful.
I’m grateful for my weeks on what we called “the bus” so many years ago, and to
my parents for exposing me to that wild country at such a young age. The land offers us so many valuable lessons, which is why I am so grateful for you. You have
supported North Coast Land Conservancy and carried us through our year of upheaval, believing in our resilience and helping us to regenerate. And in so doing,
you have helped us protect land on the Oregon Coast in perpetuity, giving that
land the opportunity to grow and change over time, come what may. Bison and
geysers are exciting, but we at North Coast Land Conservancy have something
no less inspiring: the Oregon Coast!
All we need to keep it healthy, strong and beautiful is you.
Thank you.
Katie Voelke
Executive Director
North Coast Land Conservancy
Conservation Assistant Amy Hutmacher grew
up in Alaska, focusing on environmental studies as
an undergraduate student at the University of the
Pacific and as a graduate student at Arizona State
University. An opportunity to work with the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife led her
to the Oregon Coast. At NCLC, she supports both
the conservation and land stewardship programs.
...a New Role...
Associate Director Jon Wickersham assumed his
new role in early 2013. As Conservation Director
for three years prior, Jon provided leadership in
planning, policy and landowner relationships.
This set of strengths will now be expanded into
our organizational planning and policy setting
as Jon joins the executive leadership team.
... and New Board Members!
Vianne Patterson grew up in Oswego and spent
family vacations on the Oregon Coast. In 1964
she moved to Vancouver, B.C. where she became
a communications company executive. She spent
much of her free time scuba diving and sailing. She
moved to Gearhart in 2004 and served as chair of
NCLC’s Outreach Committee for two years before
joining the board in February 2013.
Originally from Michigan, Lisa Phipps has
worked as both coastal resource planner and
planning manager for Tillamook County.
Currently she serves as executive director of
the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership and as
municipal judge for Rockaway Beach.
A New Location
for NCLC
When our office at Circle
Creek was destroyed by fire
at the end of 2012, we spent
some time in a temporary
space, regrouping and trying to determine the best
path forward for NCLC.
Those next steps have
led us to another unique
and beautiful location,
just across from NCLC’s
Neawanna Point Habitat
Reserve at the Necanicum
Estuary. (Yes, this actually
is the view from the new
office!) Although we
continue to explore options
for an eventual return to
Circle Creek, for now we’re
secure and productive in
our new location and happy
to focus on our vision:
a healthy Oregon Coast
landscape where people,
plants and wildlife
all thrive.
Many thanks to the foundations and individuals
whose generous donations
have helped NCLC move
forward this year.
BOARD
Stewardship Director Melissa Reich grew up on
Shelter Island, New York, site of The Nature Conservancy’s Mashomack Preserve, where she volunteered during high school and summers off from
college. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology
at Lewis & Clark College and worked for TNC
Oregon prior to joining us in March 2013.
It was hard to imagine any
office being equal to the
unique space enjoyed by
NCLC staff, board
members and volunteers
at our Circle Creek Habitat
Reserve south of Seaside.
It’s hard to top bald eagle
flyovers as you walk from
car to office and routine
coyote and elk sightings
through the windows
during meetings.

Conservation
Connections
In 2013 we welcomed three new properties
to North Coast Land Conservancy protection
In 2013, North Coast Land
Conservancy had the honor
of working with Stephen and
Lizzie Murdock and their
family to complete a conservation easement on the land
they call Waterwood: 160 acres
of second-growth forest, yearround creeks and dynamic
forest ecosystem high above
the Little Nestucca River
near Neskowin in Lincoln
County.
NCLC staff and board members
were deeply saddened to learn
that Stephen Murdock passed
away at the end of 2013 after
a long illness. We are honored
to be helping to keep his legacy
and vision alive for generations
to come.
Waterwood
The 45-acre Clear Lake property
includes the last undeveloped
interdunal lake on the Warrenton
peninsula outside of Fort Stevens
State Park and is at the heart of
North Coast Land Conservancy’s
Columbia Quiet Waters initiative. Now the lake and its surrounding dune ridges, emerging
wetlands and forested uplands
will remain undisturbed forever.
Clear Lake
We thank landowner Rod
Gramson for being such a great
partner to work with during the
acquisition process and look forward to honoring his wish
to see the property where he
has watched wildlife thrive
for 40 years remain in a natural
state.
NCLC worked for seven years
to conserve this land, which
includes both sides of nearly
a half-mile of the Skipanon
River where it flows through a
forest of brooding Sitka spruce
and native crabapple between
Warrenton High School and
US 101.
Sitka spruce forest and swamp
is a globally rare habitat; threequarters of the forested tidal
wetlands that existed in the
lower Columbia River Estuary
in the late 1800s were gone by
the 1980s. Wetlands such as
those found in Skipanon Forest
act as nature’s kidneys, filtering
out sediments, excess nutrients, and pollutants. By storing
water, they also protect natural
and manmade environments by
tempering the effects of storm
surges and flooding.
Skipanon Forest
Columbia Quiet Waters
Conservation Plan Is Completed
A New Path:
A new walking trail at Circle Creek
Habitat Reserve took shape in the
Spring of 2013, thanks to the hard work
of the St. Helens-based Columbia
River Youth Corps. Using a plan laid
out by NCLC volunteers Neal Maine
and Doug Ray under the guidance of
Andy Rasmussen of Lewis and Clark
National Historical Park, Youth Corps
members built a path that takes you
across a tumbling creek through a
forest lush with native shrubs, trees
of all ages, and remnant old-growth
stumps that are serving as nurse logs to
regenerate a rainforest.
To help NCLC focus our land conservation efforts within the large and
diverse area we serve, the land trust has developed six initiatives targeting key
land types or habitats. Each initiative will have a unique conservation plan to
guide future projects in that area, including a system for identifying areas of
high priority for conservation.
At the close of 2013, NCLC conservation and stewardship staff celebrated
the completion of the first of these plans, focused on the unique interdunal
wetlands and globally rare Sitka spruce forested swamps found in northern
Clatsop County, within the Urban Growth Boundary of the City of
Warrenton and wetlands around the lower Skipanon River and Tansy
and Alder Creeks.
Warrenton is an area of rapid population growth and land development,
making it an area of particular interest for conservation. Our goals in
this unique area are to conserve this rare ecosystem and to maintain
and promote ecological connectivity in the landscape.
You can review a copy of the Columbia Quiet Waters Conservation Plan
at www.nclctrust.org/nclc-completes-conservation-plan.
This first trail in a planned network
of walking paths at Circle Creek has
special meaning to a group of NCLC
supporters. Patte Fenderson and
Bob Svec and their friends and families made building the trail possible
through donations made in memory
of Patte’s son Matthew Guderian,
who passed away in 2011. Matthew
was a dynamic young man who loved
nature and who found great joy
outdoors on the Oregon Coast.
The Circle Creek Trail is connecting
people of all ages to the beauty and
wonder to be found in an emerging
coastal rainforest at the foot
of Tillamook Head.
Thank You to all the generous
donors and dedicated volunteers who
made this project possible.

In 2013, our Site Steward
Program grew to 14 participants.
These volunteers agree to adopt one
or more NCLC-owned properties
and conduct the quarterly site visits
required for NCLC to meet its land
stewardship goals and obligations.
Thirty out of the 42 properties
we own are now monitored by the
Site Steward Program.
Site stewards take photographs
at established points, note any
changes to the landscape such as
invasive plant incursions or other
disturbances, and record the data
NCLC needs to keep track of.

On The Land
Walking & Talking
Thanks to the hundreds of
people who joined us in 2013 as
we walked and paddled across
some of the most beautiful
lands on the Oregon Coast
that NCLC has the honor to
steward and protect.
From the newly restored
floodplain of Circle Creek to
the slow moving waters of
John Day River Marsh near
the Columbia River, volunteer
leaders shared stories about
the land and the wildlife that
inhabits it.
On the Land programs are
more than just a walk in the
woods. Together we’re building
connections not only with
the land but with one another.

A Coastal Floodplain
Reconnected
Circle Creek Habitat Reserve Floodplain Restoration Project
June 2013
The berm removal process begins
The troublesome Necanicum River berm that hydrologists long believed
was exacerbating winter flooding of Highway 101 at the south end of
Seaside is now gone, thanks to a visionary project—led by North Coast
Land Conservancy and undertaken on NCLC’s Circle Creek Habitat
Reserve—that saw local cities, Clatsop County and the Oregon
Department of Transportation working with NCLC to design and
implement a solution that directed the water where it needed to go:
the Necanicum River’s historic floodplain.
When the first heavy rains of the season hit in late September of 2013,
people all along the northern Oregon coast joined NCLC to cheer as the
river waters reconnected with the floodplain for the first time in decades,
leaving the highway open for safe passage. For more information about the
project, visit nclctrust.org/a-river-runs-free-again.

Construction completed
“It worked! It’s truly heartwarming to observe a
huge project like this having desired results that
are beneficial to people and wildlife alike.”

“Thank you for all that NCLC did to make this
happen. It saved my business and it is so beautiful.”

Fairweather House and Garden:
Where Art benefits Nature
When Denise Fairweather, owner of Fairweather House and Garden in
Seaside, began displaying photography by Neal Maine and Michael Wing—
a partnership they call PacficLight Images—in August 2012, she had no idea
how enthusiastic the response would be.
“Sometimes when I open the shop in the morning, I find nose prints on the
windows where people have stopped to peer in during the evening,” Denise
observes. “The photographs are beautiful: bald eagles on the beach, elk in the
estuary. But when people discover that they are all taken essentially within
walking distance of the shop, they are amazed.” Denise soon moved the photographs to a permanent home at the front of her gallery.
When, four months later, she read about the fire that destroyed the offices of
North Coast Land Conservancy in Seaside, she was moved to help the land
trust that Neal founded and that plays a key role in preserving a landscape
that inspires many of the artists she represents. Fairweather now donates 100
percent of the proceeds from the sale of PacificLight Images photographs to
North Coast Land Conservancy—more than $4,000 in 2013 alone—an
arrangement she plans to continue through 2014 and beyond.
NCLC is grateful for Denise’s generosity. Be sure to stop by the gallery, at
612 Broadway in Seaside, to see the latest from PacificLight Images.
Cards for a Good Cause
Several stores on the North Coast are selling North Coast Land Conservancy’s notecards
and postcards, all featuring wildlife photographed on the northern Oregon coast.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sales go to benefit NCLC.

“It’s been amazing to see how our
supporters have made it possible
for NCLC to grow through my years
so far as treasurer.
“Conservation opportunities within
our service area are numerous,
and as long as we have funding for
a skilled staff to carry them out,
we can continue this great work
in perpetuity.
“Thank you to our contributors for
ensuring Oregon’s unique coastal
legacy. Let’s keep it going!”
