View the Future -- A Vision for the Future

Indian Middens Identified - Archaeologists from the University of Oregon have helped to date recently discovered coastal indian middens located just north of Cape Perpetua. For more information about this discovery, an information sheet has been prepared.
Gerdemann Garden - View the Future's is helping with the preservation and trail development through the Gerdemann Botanical Preserve on the north side of Yachats. Jerry and Kathleen Sand have purchased the property and View the Future has assisted with a conservation easement to protect the garden from development. The Register-Guard has written an article about this project. Jerry Sand has drawn a diagram of the garden. View the Future has established a garden maintenance endowment with a goal of raising $1 million to provide a sustainable maintenance program. If you are interested in helping to preserve this remarkable site, donations are tax deductible. |

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.
