Join us on Saturday, September 28th, at 3:00pm PST at the Bob Chisholm Community Center in Seaside!

Why, you ask?

We are a 501(c)(3) organization that has been working with public and private landowners in the Necanicum Basin since the mid-1990's to improve riparian habitat. Yet, many of our community members are unaware of us, our ability to leverage public and private funding, and the role we can play in creating an ecologically and economically sustainable future for our ecosystems and people.

We'll have some fresh pizza, soft drinks and a short presentation to introduce who we are, followed by an opportunity to ask our staff members some questions and finally a "social hour" where landowners are able to enjoy some food and conversation with our board and staff.

We're looking forward to meeting you and brainstorming ways that we can restore the Necanicum, together.

Bring us your cans and bottles and turn trash into critical funds for salmon habitat restoration and education in the Necanicum Basin!

We’ll be sitting courtside with our good friends and conservation partners at the North Coast Land Conservancy. Come on down to the Seaside Farmer’s Market to learn about all things watershed conservation in the Necanicum Basin and explore ways to get involved with two of our region’s conservation specialists.

Although many North Coast residents and visitors believe wildfire is not a risk, fire has always played a role here. By examining the ecological role of fire and fire history of the Coast Range, as well as current trends, we can gain a better understanding of what the future of fire may look like in our area. Indigenous people used fire as a land management tool for millennia, as seen in the presence of the open habitats of the Clatsop Plains and other prairies and headland grasslands of the Coast, now in decline. Stand-replacing crown fires, have a long and well documented history. These are a hazard for all our communities and residents. Our larger coastal population, along with changes to land use and our climate are increasing the risk and impacts of future fires in the region. With this background, we will discuss how individuals and communities can prepare for wildfire and lessen wildfire risks on the North Coast. Additionally, we will discuss potential priority landscapes, in terms of fire and ecological restoration.

Join us for $4 beers on July 12th, 2023 and learn about the wonders of our watershed.

Speaker: Aaron Groth

Aaron is the Coastal Oregon regional fire specialist in the OSU Forestry and Natural Resources Extension Fire Program. Aaron works with communities as well as local, state, federal, private, and nonprofit partners at different scales across the Coast to provide education and foster fire resilient communities and landscapes.
