The CCLC is an all-volunteer group and cannot meet the great need for land conservation and stewardship that exists in Lincoln and Western Lane Counties. The MidCoast Watersheds Council is a staffed non-profit group that conserves and restores habitats for fish and wildlife, water quality and quantity and watershed health. MCWC has agreed to work with existing land trusts in our service area including Western Rivers Conservancy, The Nature Conservancy, The Conservation Fund, The Wetlands Conservancy, and McKenzie River Trust to prioritize and conserve and steward land in our those parts of our service areas. Being able to work with many landtrusts to hold and steward land increases the abililty to accomplish prioritized conservation needs.
