Volunteers Work Diligently to Support Coastal Lands and Waters in Various Ways
Volunteers continue to be the lifeblood of NCLC, as the organization strives to care for several dozen conserved properties along the Oregon Coast. More than 230 individuals contributed valuable volunteer time in 2025.
Our incredible volunteers show up to stewardship work parties throughout the year, as well as weekly Weed Warrior Wednesdays and Tidy Wild Tuesdays, a new initiative started in 2025 to help us care for the Circle Creek Conservation Center and surrounding landscape. These volunteer outings take place across our habitat reserves on the Oregon Coast and are critical to ensuring we can maintain a high standard of stewardship for conserved lands and waters.
Additionally, you’ll find volunteers doing tasks around the office, stuffing envelopes for mailings, serving on committees, and taking on numerous other roles that keep NCLC moving forward. In 2025, our volunteer base also included several individuals who assisted with sea star and marine debris surveys and served as Tidepool Ambassadors at the Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, in addition to supporting events and activities put on by our coastal partners.
