North Coast Land Conservancy (NCLC)
http://www.nclctrust.org/index.html
The NCLC works to further its mission through land acquisition, conservation easments, partnerships, and community outreach. This can include: discussing with a private property owner the economic benefits of protecting land through donation, advising a developer about the benefits of a wetland management plan, advising other organizations as they work to preserve an ecologically sensitive area, or providing a public symposium on little known aspects of the coast. Conservation is accomplished with willing private landowners as well as with cities and counties.

NCLC owns properties and holds conservation easments from the Columbia River Estuary in Clatsop County all the way down to Lincoln County. Our properties range in size from .5 acres to 364 acres, and all hold important natural resource values including wildlife habitat, water absorption, and migration corridors. More than 25 fee title (owned by NCLC) conservation lands, totaling over 680 acres are preserved in perpetuity. We also hold conservation easments on more than 349 acres (see our Properties page for details).
