They remember coming here as kids, staying at Grandma and Grandpa's little cabin, swimming in the Yachats River , going fishing.

They come to renew themselves, to walk the beaches, explore the forests, meet the friendly people who live here. More…. |

In December 2005, we celebrated the dedication of a conservation easement of 16+ acres of forested headland owned by Joanne and Norman Kittel. |
The photos on the left show the lush woods and spectacular ocean views which will be protected by the easement. This serene and lovely area is accessible to the public via the Amanda Trail, shown in the photos. The Trail easement is under the state Parks & Recreation Department and connects to the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area to the south. The Kittels are shown in the last two photos at the dedication ceremony. |

| Coast Range Association WOPR Project he Coast Range Association has a new BLM old growth and native forest web site using Google Earth. This site is designed to inform the public about the BLM's Western Oregon Revisions proposal (WOPR). The web site is designed to deliver special Google Earth views of BLM old growth and native forest. Using Google Earth and special files you now can virtually fly to any place in Western Oregon and see exactly where at-risk BLM forest is located. We identify old growth and native forest using three different colors. For more information about this effort, visit the Coast Range Assn. web site. |
