Скачать или смотреть Community Conservation on Oregon's Central Coast w/ Margaret Treadwell

Land conservation is a tool that can be used to protect ecologically important habitat, cultural and historic resources, drinking water, scenic views, and human infrastructure, while helping landowners to keep their properties in the family or to transition out of landownership. McKenzie River Trust works with local partners in Lincoln County to protect the rocky coastlines, tidal wetlands, and lush forests that make the Oregon coast so precious. In November of 2024, the Trust helped to return ancestral land at Cape Foulweather to the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. Join the MidCoast Watersheds Council to hear from Margaret Treadwell, Central Coast Conservation Program Manager at McKenzie River Trust, as she shares updates on current projects in the Newport area. Margaret will explore how land conservation works, its benefits to local drinking watersheds, and the tools available to protect and steward special places on the coast.
