The Central Coast Land Conservancy was founded by in 1994 by residents of Lincoln and Tillamook counties. The Conservancy's territory includes coastal areas and the Coast Range mountains in Tillamook, Lincoln, and western Lane counties. The organization has participated in estuarine, salt marsh, coastal wetland, forests, riparian/floodplain conservation and restoration by protecting key habitats, especially intact habitats.
The Central Coast Land Conservancy presently owns three fee-owned properties with a total of 18 acres, and manages four conservation easements that have a combined total of 230 acres. The properties range from five to one hundred acres. Our projects are found in spruce/hemlock and Douglas fir forests, estuarine and tidal salt marshes, and other coastal wetlands and floodplains.
Many of these areas are around the Newport area, but also just south of Yachats and near Pacific City. Details about the specific land holdings can be found in the section under Our Land Holdings.
