NESIKA PRESERVE RESTORATION ASSESSMENTTHE NESIKA PRESERVE IS ABOUT 7 MILES NORTH OF GOLD BEACH, OR AND IS APPROXIMATELY 100 ACRES IN SIZE. IT COMPRISES ONE 40-ACRE PROPERTY OWNED BY THE WILD RIVERS LAND TRUST AND THREE PRIVATELY HELD PROPERTIES WITH CONSERVATIONEASEMENTS PLACED ON THEM TO PROTECT NATURAL AREAS. TWO OF THE PRIVATELY HELD PROPERTIES WITH EASEMENTS ON THEM HAVE OCEANFRONT COASTAL BLUFFS ON THEM, AND WRLT IS EXPLORING THE IDEA OF DOING RESTORATION WORK IN THESE AREAS TO RESTORE A MORE NATURAL CONDITION ON THESE COASTAL HEADLANDS.THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE COASTAL BLUFFS IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES. AT THE NORTHERN PROPERTY, THE BLUFF IS FAIRLY OPEN ON THE SOUTH END AND IS MOSTLY COMPRISED OF LOW-LYING NATIVE VEGETATION, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SPOTS OF INVASIVE ICE PLANT THAT THE LANDOWNERS AND WRLT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON REMOVING FROM THE PROPERTY. TO THE NORTH, SHORE PINE HAS ENCROACHED ON FORMALLY OPEN SANDY AREAS AND THERE IS A MIX OF NATIVE SHRUBS INTERMIXED WITH THE PINES. THE FAMILY THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY HAS TOLD US THAT THIS AREA WAS ALL OPEN AND FLAT 50 YEARS AGO. THE BLUFFS ON THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY ARE MOSTLY GROWN IN BY DENSE SHRUBS AND SMALL SHORE PINES. FOR THE MOST PART THIS VEGETATION IS AROUND 4-6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND SUNLIGHT DOES NOT PENETRATE TO THE GROUND IN THIS AREA. THE FORMER CONDITION OF THIS AREA WAS OPEN, SIMILAR TO THE SOUTHERN BLUFF AREA ON THE NORTHERN PROPERTY. BOTH LANDOWNERS ARE OPEN TO THE IDEA OF RESTORATION WORK HAPPENING ON THEIR PROPERTY, BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PLAN FOR SPECIFIC ACTIONS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ANY CONCERNS THEY HAVE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE LANDOWNERS ON THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY HAVE SOME AREAS THEY WOULD LIKE TO STAY THE WAY THEY ARE CURRENTLY. WE DISCUSSED THE IDEA OF CREATING A RESTORATION PLAN THAT WOULD LAY OUT SOME SPECIFIC ACTIONS AND EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES THAT WE COULD TAKE BACK TO THE LANDOWNERS. IT WOULD ALSO HELP US ESTABLISH A TIMELINE FOR COMPLETION.
