Citizens of the Coast
Protecting the most beautiful places on Earth, and the people who call them home.
“Do what you can…with what you have, where you are.”
-Theodore Roosevelt
vanishing treasure
Even in this modern age, some of us still choose a simpler way of life…one that is closer to Nature’s awesome beauty and farther from the concrete jungles of city life…one that is characterized by small towns and familiar faces rather than bustling streets and a sea of strangers who pass each other without a smile or a wave.
No matter how much we love the rural lifestyle that places like the Oregon Coast provide, we can’t deny the fact that the world is changing. With each passing day, we are faced with new challenges that threaten to erode the places, communities and values that make this area a natural (and national) treasure.
Find out what we’re doing to preserve these treasures, and what you can do to help!
OUR projects
Coast watch
Law enforcement can't be everywhere at once...but together, maybe we can. After all, an extra pair of eyes can mean the difference between safety and vulnerability.
Beauty Patrol
A guest will never care about a home like the one who has to clean it. Since the beaches, forests, trails and recreation areas of this coastal wonderland are practically in our backyards, guess who's volunteering.
News and Upcoming Events
We are constantly working with new partners, new communities and new ideas to help keep the Pacific Coast beautiful, safe and clean.
