CLATSOP and TILLAMOOK COUNTIES — North Coast Land Conservancy is offering a series of 13 guided outings to the pub- lic beginning in early June and continuing through the end of August. Most of the outings take place between Warrenton and Manzanita with one excursion taking place at Clay Myers State Natural Area in Pacific City. Several walks at Circle Creek Habitat Reserve will explore the floodplain in all its many stages, encourage participants to slow down and observe the dynamic processes of the forest, and venture up Tillamook Head and into Boneyard Ridge. Two easy hikes are planned at Clear Lake in Warrenton, one focusing on the restoration project and the other tak- ing a geologist’s point of view. Two other walks are set along the Coastal Edge at Devil’s Cauldron and the Elk Flats in Oswald West State Park. A geology walk is planned at the Nation- al Park Service’s Yeon Property north of Gear- hart, and a coastal prairie walk highlighting NCLC’s stewardship strategies is planned at Reed Ranch Habitat Reserve, set in the Neacoxie Wildlife Corri- dor between Gearhart and Warrenton. Participants can visit the returning for- est, spot birds and learn to identify trees in the Ecola Creek Forest Reserve in Cannon Beach.

North Coast Land Conservancy’s Summer on the Land outings bring to- gether staff and volunteer naturalists to offer guided outings on special lands in NCLC’s service area, including in some habitat reserves that are not nor- mally open to the public. Most outings are two hours in length. All out- ings are free, but partic- ipants must sign up in advance to help NCLC keep groups small. Most excursions are limited to about 15 participants. The first and last outings — hikes at Circle Creek, led by NCLC Executive Director Katie Voelke and ecologist Mike Patter- son — have no cap on the number of participants, but registration is still encour- aged. This year, registration opens 30 days in advance of each outing. Registra- tion for June walks is now open. Visit North Coast Land Conservancy’s website, NCLCtrust.org/on-the- land-summer-outings, for details or to register. Based in Seaside, North Coast Land Conservancy has been working since 1986 to conserve and connect the landscape of the Oregon Coast from the Columbia River to northern Lincoln County. The private, nonprofit land trust works to ensure that this extraordinary region is a place where healthy communities of people, plants and wildlife can all thrive.
