o create our 2013-2017 strategic plan, we shared stories to surface the core values that underpin our mission and collaborative approach. We reflected on the forces shaping our environment and identified our desired outcomes and strategies.

Why We Care About Oregon’s WetlandsWetlands are vital to our health and the health of our environment. They clean and recharge our water supply, provide critical fish and wildlife habitat, and protect our communities from

floods. They also offer the most biologically rich and productive lands in our state. Despite the collective gains we have made with our partners in

wetlands conservation and restoration, we are losing the exceptional biological diversity that Oregonians cherish. Our ocean fisheries are being depleted, estuary habitat is disappearing, demands are growing for water from our rivers, and critical wetlands are being converted and fragmented faster than they can be protected and restored. We have more work to do.

regon has lost over half of the wetlands present when the first setters arrived in the 1800’s. To ensure that the remaining wetlands are conserved, The Wetlands Conservancy launched “Oregon’s Greatest Wetlands,” to identify and map the state’s most valuable wetlands and then develop multi-partner strategies to conserve them.

Begun in 2003 by TWC with input from wetland experts throughout the state, Oregon’s Greatest Wetlands continues to provide the foundation for our statewide wetland conservation program. As part of our updated strategic plan, TWC is developing a Status and Trends report – gathering information obtained since 2003 on the identified wetlands, their current

conservation status and condition, major threats, and identification of new wetlands to be included on the OGW list. We also plan to share the stories of these special places via various media. In the next year, we will gather pictures, movies, sketches, and stories from people who love and have experienced these special places, incorporating the input into a database. And here is where you can help us!

If you have memorable pictures, movies, sketches, and stories to share about any of Oregon’s Greatest Wetlands, or would like to assist with the organization of them, please contact the TWC office: [email protected].

wetlands & welliesAn Extraordinary Dining ExperienceBenefitting The Wetlands Conservancy

Wetlands & Wellies brought together members,

supporters, partners and food lovers that are

passionate about conserving one of our state’s

greatest resources – our wetlands. The unique

experience showed why Oregon’s wetlands are

worth protecting. Everything from local seafood

to beautiful coastal vistas are dependent on the

health of these ecosystems.

This year Wetlands and Wellies celebrated

wetland stewards, community and partnerships.

The cocktail party-style format at Lost Lagoon

Farm provided a fun and delicious way to move

around, catch up with old friends and make new

ones, learn about the connection between the

succulent oyster in your mouth and the

conservation of Yaquina estuary.

The tour of hosts Jane Hartline and Mark

Greenfield’s restoration projects and gardens

was a great inspiration for all.

There was also plenty of time to chat with TWC

staff and board members and raise a glass to

32 years of TWC accomplishments.

Getting out there!

Klamath Birding WeekendMarch 7-10, 2014

The Klamath Basin supports a broad range of habitat types includingmarshes, open water, grassy meadows, sagebrush and juniper grass-lands, and coniferous forest. This rich diversity makes the Klamath Basin a spectacular bird-watching destination. This tour is timed to get the maximum benefit from the tremendous concen-trations of waterfowl that use the basin as a stag-ing area for migration during February and March. The 4-day weekend is $895 per person, including lodging, transportation, meals and a suggested $100 tax-deductible donation to The Wetlands Conservancy.

There are so many

ways to explore and

experience wetlands.

Come out and join us

at one of our preserves

or grab your boots, bin-

oculars, boats or bikes

and visit one of oregon’s

Greatest Wetlands. Watch

our website, Facebook or

e-blasts to learn about

work parties and wetland

field trips.

Birding, Natural History, Wetlands Tours with TWC Partner Eric Horvath

n Oregon, beaver were eliminated from much of their historic range during the 1800’s by over trapping. The beaver has since recovered from near extinction. Today, with their population rebounding, beaver are now recognized as a “keystone” species – one that fundamentally supports an ecosystem. However, as beaver return to long-abandoned watersheds, conflicts with humans have increased. While the lists of benefits provided by beaver are exhaustive, there is also a list of complaints of the damage and problems caused by beaver activity. Beaver/human conflict includes, but is not limited to flooding of land, felling of trees and clogging culverts and other pipes. Wherever possible, beaver should be encouraged and allowed to build dams.

To help keep beavers on the landscape, our partner, the MidCoast Watersheds Council, (MCWC) is educating people about the benefits of beavers, particularly their role as ecosystem engineers” for their ability to modify ecosystem

and hydrologic function and community structure, through their dam building activities.

MCWC is also installing devices that can help mitigate for conflicts , so that people and beaver co-exist.

A Beaver Deceiver is essentially a fence that is installed around the upstream end of a beaver baffle to reduce the maintenance associated with the beaver baffles. By installing a fence around the upstream end of the baffle the beaver will not be able to plug the pipe with debris or sediment. Deceivers are constructed of fencing and metal fence posts.

Cages are another beaver management prac-tice. Beaver fell trees for sustenance and dam construction. To protect woody plants from bea-ver, cages can be constructed around the trunk of a tree or stems of a shrub.

Beaver DeceiverProtecting wetlands – and their associated fish and wildlife –sometimes includes protecting the beavers that help create them

A beaver deceiver has recently been installed in the Wetlands Conservancy’s Minthorn springs Preserve in Milwaukie. the device is regulating the water level to a point that prevents the flooding while allowing water to remain in the wetland system on the site.

leighton blackwell of

Newport, oregon is

installing a pond leveler

that will keep a land-

owner’s access road from

flooding, but still leave

enough water in the pond

for beavers to be able to

hide from predators.

aving large amounts of money has never been a goal in my life. But I have learned over the decades that as long as I live in a culture where “ownership” of the earth is something that can be determined and designated through the exchange of money, having money sometimes CAN buy me love – or at least that which I love and value. In this case, a little spot of the earth where forests, estuaries, the sky and the sea all combine to create a spirit and essence that money can’t buy.

Over the decades, I also have learned that it’s not all about us (human beings). We are just passing through the landscape of planet earth and that which we love and value is what we will

nurture, protect and leave behind. I love the earth. I love the trees. I love the spirit of the mountains and the seas and the feelings that pass through me when I have the opportunity to be in their presence.

Thanks to the on-going work and commitment of Esther Lev and TWC, with my donation TWC was not only able to help protect a beautiful spot of land within the Lower Yaquina Estuary Preserve, but I was also able to create a spot of peace in my heart and soul knowing that I was part of a team leaving a legacy that really mattered.

We are dedicated to conserving and promoting wetlands to support fish and wildlife, clean water, open space, public safety, and people’s appreciation of nature. We work at different scales—from an individual property to a regional landscape – to support these interconnected systems.

We build community, creating strong, long-lasting relation-ships within our organization and with our diverse partners.

We believe respectful collaboration, rather than adversarial confrontation, leads to innovative and long lasting solutions.

We implement our mission through the best available science and research. along with our partners we collect, analyze and disseminate critical data to support wetlands conservation, restoration and education.

We empower people to explore and discover how wetlands play a vital role in their everyday lives, inspiring them to protect and preserve wetlands

throughout oregon. We collect and share the stories of oregon’s greatest wetlands, making room for people of all ages to participate.

Within our organization and the partner network that makes wetlands stewardship possible across oregon, we are continually learning, experimenting and adapting—enhancing the capacities of human and natural systems to adapt and thrive as conditions change.

Taking the long view, we create conservation and restoration opportunities through proactive leadership and planning. We

develop the science, the restoration plan, and the partnerships that create a legacy and instill a commitment to wetlands stewardship in future generations.

An effective organization is

one that continually adapts to

change while maintaining the

core values at the heart of its

mission. Although a lot has

changed in the 32 years since

The Wetlands Conservancy was

founded, the most important

things have not changed: the

passion that motivates our staff, board, volunteers, partners

and supporters, and our commitment to create lasting relation-

ships, bring science into public decision-making, and build

resilience within our human and natural communities.

As Board Chair for the last four years, I have been fortunate

to witness first-hand the significant progress of The Wetlands

Conservancy in conserving and restoring some of Oregon’s

greatest wetlands. Last year we received accreditation from the

Land Trust Alliance demonstrating that we meet the nation’s

highest standards for land trusts and ensuring that our conser-

vation work has lasting impact.

This year we adopted a strategic plan, our blueprint for the

next several years. Guided by this plan, we’ll continue our work

partnering with communities across Oregon to conserve, en-

hance and restore Oregon’s greatest wetlands. We’ll share the

stories of Oregon’s greatest wetlands, and continue to serve as

a trusted leader and guide in wetland conservation and restora-

tion. To accomplish this, we’ll also focus on building financial

resources, strengthening our organizational infrastructure, and

continuing to adapt, while remaining firmly rooted in our mis-

sion and core values.

On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, thank you for your

continued support!

Walking silently with 20 other people

through the Tualatin River National

Wildlife Refuge, I get lost in the

smells, colors, textures and how the

sunlight falls across the marsh. I am

in awe of the silence, yet abundant

life and signs of a changing season

in the marsh are everywhere. As the

afternoon light wanes, the silence turns into a chorus of 200 geese

honking overhead in response to a bald eagle in search of dinner.

Although I am still with 20 other people and can see Highway 99

at the edge of my vision, I feel like I am in a wilderness, where

ecological processes evolve, the species that belong are represented,

and humans are part of the eco-system rather than a dominant or

absent feature of the eco-system.

As the temperature drops, we head indoors where everyone

shares their stories of what they saw, heard and experienced. The

conversation is loud and animated. I smile thinking about the vast

wetland outside; a wild, magical and complex ecosystem that share

the characteristics of both wet and dry environments. Occurring in all

corners of Oregon, wetlands and are among the most biologically

productive and species-rich habitats in the state. Coastal salt marsh-

es, pitcher-plant bogs, mountain fens, valley bottom vernal pools, wet

prairies, spruce swamps and desert saltgrass flats are

a small sampling of the diversity of wetland types in Oregon.

My thoughts scan the past year; thinking of the friendships and

partnerships forged in the Closed Lakes Basin of southeast Oregon,

Coos Bay, the Oregon Central Coast, the Portland Metro Area and the

Willamette Valley. I am once again reminded of how honored and

lucky I feel to work in such a beautiful place with a diversity of people

who all care about conserving Oregon’s Greatest wetlands.

Through your support, you each play a role in conserving,

restoring and sustaining community partnerships that result in

conserving Oregon’s Greatest wetlands. The coming year is full plans,

dreams and projects. Come out and join us at one of our preserves

or at an event, be involved in a committee or just go explore one of

Oregon’s Greatest Wetlands.

Multiply your gift to The Wetlands Conservancy with an employer matched gift. Matching gifts are a great way to increase an individual donation with an additional contribution from your em-ployer, and for companies to support the causes and concerns that are important to employees. If you work for a matching gift company, it's easy to multiply the value of your gift to The Wetlands Conservancy. Simply obtain a matching gift form from your (or your spouse's) employer's Person-nel or Community Relations Departments, fill in the donor portion and forward it to us at The Wetlands Conservancy.
