Water is essential to sustain all life. It is equally important to humans as the natural landscapes that

sustain us. Conservation and protection of water may be one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime

and of our children and future generations. While the amount of water on the planet today is the same

as it was in prehistoric times, the demands for it have increased. ❚ Land and water are inextricably

connected. We must understand and acknowledge their interdependency and relationship as we develop

and implement strategies to conserve water. ❚ Wetlands, vital to the health of our environment, support

conservation of the land-water connection. Their irreplaceable role is the result of the unique natural

characteristics of wetlands. Like kidneys, they absorb, filter and recirculate our water. Which in-turn

provides critical fish and wildlife habitat to so many of the iconic species we identify with Oregon. In the

face of destructive floods, they serve as natural buffers helping to protect our communities. ❚ With the

heightened awareness around limited water resources, wetlands role in cleaning and recharging our

water supply has become even more essential.

We forget that the

water cycle and the

life cycle are one.

Every year in early winter, high tides in Oregon

are higher than usual. These extreme high tides,

commonly called “King Tides,” occur when the moon

is closest to the Earth. King Tides visually demonstrate

what an estuary might look like as the sea level rises.

TWC is sharing our King Tide aerial photos to jumpstart

conversations about what lays ahead for the future of

our estuaries and how sea level rise may necessitate

changes in land use and infrastructure.

Willamette Valley Wetland prairies are seasonally

flooded ecosystems dominated by herbaceous plants.

In response to restoration of fescue fields, thousands of

native prairie plants, including some rare species have

turned Mud Slough Wetland Preserve into a tapestry of

color and texture. Every fall through spring, thousands

of ducks and geese, shorebirds and swallows return to

the wetlands. In addition, bitterns, rails, herons, and

egrets feed in the marshes, while bald eagles and

northern harriers work the skies overhead.

Oregon Coast freshwater wetland habitats include

deflation plain wetlands, sphagnum bogs, and lakes

formed by small creeks that have been blocked by

moving sand dunes. Sphagnum bogs, like TWC’s

Ian Nedry Peterson Preserve typically occur in

depressions and in coastal headlands with Blacklock

soils where water is “perched.” Species present in

these communities include pitcher-plant, cottongrass,

and yellow pond-lily.

The Harney Basin is an arid landscape.

The supply of water is a limiting factor

for most human activity in the basin,

as well as for wetlands and their

dependent species, such as White-faced

Ibis, Avocets and Stilts. Precipitation

is variable from year to year and runoff

may vary within the same year, resulting

in both drought and surplus years, and

everything in between.

Oregon’s 22 major estuaries are

ecologically essential for many

fish and wildlife species, includ-

ing salmon, crabs, oysters, clams,

wading birds, ducks, geese,

shorebirds and harbor seals.

Management of our Lower Yaquina

Preserve allows for migration of

plant communities and change in

vegetative species composition

resulting from flooding, erosion,

tsunamis and sea level rise.

What would Tualatin look like

today if Althea Pratt Broome had

not lead a community movement

to save the 56-acre Hedges Creek

Marsh? Thirty-seven years later

the community conservation in

Tualatin has inspired a state wide

movement to conserve Oregon’s

Greatest wetlands.

225 volunteers enthusiastically contributed 1500 hours

of their time to conserving Oregon’s Greatest Wetlands.

Volunteers assisted with preserve maintenance,

stewardship and monitoring, scientific data collection,

sharing photos and stories, being TWC ambassadors,

office work, helping at events and participating on

board committees. TWC staff and Oregon wetlands

thank you for your time and passion.

For the past

two years TWC

has partnered

with Light Hawk

Volunteer Pilots

on our King Tide

(highest tides of

the year) to get

an aerial look at

how Oregon Cen-

tral Coast estuaries might respond to rising sea levels. This spring

pilots provided us with the 1,000-foot perspective of the land,

wetland and water connection of the Harney Basin. Drone pilots

have been helping us document the presence of beaver

and changing water levels at our preserves.

OREGON’S GREATEST WETLANDS

Removal of 1400 ft Dike Improves Fish Access to Poole SloughInter-tidal salt marshes are among the most

biologically productive natural ecosystems on

earth because of the way marsh plants live, die,

and decompose. Tides are the life-blood of these

unique estuarine habitats that provide criti-

cal habitat for all salmonids species during an

important transitional life phase between fresh

and saltwater. Coho salmon typically spend

several weeks to a month in the estuary feeding

and completing the transition between fresh and

salt water.

In August 2016, TWC removed a 1,400-foot-

long dike along the Oregon Oyster parcel of our

Lower Yaquina Preserve to improve fish access

to the extensive distribution of tidal channels at

high tides and storm events. The barrier removal

reestablished natural processes and functions to

provide self-sustaining unobstructed habitats for

native migratory fish and other fish and wildlife

species.

We look forward to watching changes in the

ecological function and fish and wildlife use of

Poole Slough in response to this project and our

2015 large wood placement.

2016

Over 150 people gathered in appreciation

of Oregon wetlands and The Wetlands

Conservancy. It was a fabulous afternoon of

delicious food and drink, catching up with old

friends and making news ones and learning

about TWC’s most recent projects and

partnerships.

Many thanks to our 2016 event sponsors!!

Through their missions, work and support of

TWC, they each share a commitment to the

ecological, social and economic value of

conserving Oregon’s wetlands. Together

we will continue to conserve and restore

Oregon’s Greatest Wetlands!

It wouldn’t be Wetlands

and Wellies without fresh

Yaquina Oysters from

Oregon Oyster.

The Darlingtonia; Bull Run whiskey, Starvation

Alley cranberries, Cooper’s Hall Pinot Noir and

black walnut bitters could be a contender for

the official Oregon cocktail.

Many thanks to our 2016 sponsors!

As you head into the holiday season think about

visiting one of our restaurant partners, ordering some

oysters, grabbing a growler of beer, purchasing some

wine, trying a new spirit, satisfying a sweet tooth, tak-

ing home some tasty food or buying a friend or family

member a gift certificate.

Best Wellies Contest

Special thanks to Clackamas Community College’s Environmental

Learning Center for hosting Wetlands and Wellies 2016. We look forward

to working together on the Newell Creek headwater restoration project.

In Celebration of Beaver and WetlandsBeaver, our beloved state animal is woefully misunderstood

and blamed for dam building, flooding and munching on

plants. In fact, the North American Beaver create wetlands,

spawning and rearing habitat for salmon and steelhead,

and habitat for insects, birds and amphibians. Their pools

help filter water and moderate fluctuations in water flow

downstream. They are nature’s hydrologists!

History of Beaver Decline in Oregon Robert Gray and Lewis and Clark’s poetic descriptive

writings of Northwest waterways and abundant beaver and

otter populations captured the interest of powerful fur trading

companies in New York and London. Very quickly profession-

al trappers from all over the world descended on the Oregon

territory to trap beaver. By 1890, demand for beaver hats and

coats led to their decline, leaving behind only the nickname

of “the beaver state” as a testament to the once abundant

furbearers.

In response to their almost extirpation, the Oregon

legislature temporarily prohibited beaver trapping from

1899 until 1919. A second moratorium was placed on

public beaver trapping from 1937 to 1951. The combination

of management and these partial protections resulted in

the reestablishment of beaver in Oregon.

In 1969 the legislature adopted the American Beaver

(Castor canadensis) as the official state animal following

past state recognition of the beaver in the 1849 government

issued “beaver money” and in 1925 the inclusion of the

beaver on the territorial seal and state flag.

The Return of American Beaver to Oregon Since then, the beaver population has increased substantial-

ly along with a growing appreciation and recognition of the

positive benefits that beaver play in Oregon. Beaver can play

a central role in shaping our future, particularly in resuscitat-

ing our wetland and riparian stream habitats as we prepare

for the changes that a warming climate may bring.

The Wetlands Conservancy will host a traveling beaver

art exhibit and sale in 2017, featuring over 100 Northwest

artists. The exhibits will highlight the aesthetic, ecological

and cultural significance of beaver, Oregon’s iconic

state animal and Oregon State University mascot.

The first three exhibits will be in February, April and

May of 2017.

February, 2017–Oregon State University In partnership with SPARK Arts + Science @OSU, the kickoff of Beaver

Tales will be at Oregon State University with a reception,

exhibit and sale at the LaSells-Stewart Center. The exhibit

will run throughout the month of February in tandem with

presentations/workshops highlighting relevant research

from multiple academic disciplines.

April 2017 In honor of International Beaver Day (April 7), the exhibit will move to the Lake Oswego 510 Museum and

ARTspace. The exhibit will continue through the month,

and include workshops, tours, and other activities around

the city.

May 2017 In partnership with the Necanicum Watershed Council, and the North Coast Land Conservancy, Beaver

Tales will move to Seaside Oregon for a month long cele-

bration and activities in honor of National Wetlands month.

FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ESTHER LEV

2016 was an amazing year for

TWC, as we saw new awareness

and appreciation of the ecological

and community benefits of

wetlands. With the dramatic

changes in weather, we watched

our wetlands absorb water during heavy rains and then ease

the effects of drought by slowly releasing the stored water

back into the landscape. As the recognition has grown, new

communities and organizations across Oregon have turned

to TWC, for help in protecting and restoring wetlands.

Through our on-going partnerships in Harney County and

with The Siletz tribe we have learned more about the role

opportunities and limitations of wetland conservation in rural

communities and how to recognize and include traditional

knowledge and connection to landscapes to our ecological

conservation and climate change planning and strategies.

Through sharing stories, ideas, knowledge and connection

to the landscape, we have developed lasting relationships,

built on trust, which are laying the foundation for some truly

creative and great opportunities to conserve Oregon’s

Greatest Wetlands.

We look forward to continuing to work with others around

the state to protect most biologically rich and productive

landscapes.

FROM BOARD CHAIR JOHN VAN STAVEREN

Whether it is working closely

with ranchers in Harney County,

landowners on the Central

Oregon Coast, partners in

Southeast Oregon’s Closed Lake

Basin, or organizing hundreds of volunteers at our preserves

in the Metro area, your donations allow us to work throughout

our beautiful state. The Wetlands Conservancy is the only

organization in Oregon dedicated to promoting community

and private partnerships to permanently protect and

conserve Oregon’s greatest wetlands.

I like to think of wetlands as a community partner.

A partner that works to clean and store our water, provide

habitat for species whose existence is threatened, a partner

which buffers the effects of flooding when our rivers and

streams swell from excess rainfall or snowmelt. Wetlands

are a community partner that asks nothing in return. Our

task is to protect this valuable partner to make sure they

can function throughout our state.

We’ve accomplished a lot over the years! And there

is much work to be done. Your support guides our future

efforts. Thank you for all you’ve contributed to these

accomplishments. 37 years11

Our sound financial

position allows us to

achieve our mission. We

thank you for your past

support and hope you will

continue to work with us

to conserve Oregon’s

Greatest Wetlands.
