Seaside High School to host spring centennial celebration Save the date, share 100 years of memories Submitted photo by Trav Williams As part of its 30th anniversary, North Coast Land Conservancy is putting on CoastWalk Oregon, a three-day walk on the Oregon Coast Trail, starting at the mouth of the Columbia River in Fort Stevens State Park and ending in Cannnon Beach. Paddle Oregon, CoastWalk Ore- gon is a way for Oregonians and visitors to the state to see some of Oregon’s natural wonders in comfort but under their own power. “Our mission — ‘Helping to conserve Oregon’s coastal lands, forever’ — could not be better demonstrated than with a walk on the Oregon Coast Trail, inspiring Oregonians to protect and steward their coastal trea- sures,” said NCLC Executive Director Katie Voelke, who will be participating in CoastWalk Oregon along with most of the NCLC staff. Not only is 2 the conser- vancy’s 3th anniversary year, but NCLC is in the process of conserving 3 acres of forest land on Tillamook Head adja- cent to Ecola State Park, which CoastWalk Oregon will travel through. NCLC has scheduled the three-day walk to take ad- vantage of typically dry, warm September weather and to bene- ¿t tourism businesses during the off-season.
