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.
