Cascade Head, Oregon <9 Connie Kent
Rising 1,200 feet above the Pacific surf, the coastal grasslands of Cascade Head
stretch from basalt cliffs to a rain forest of spruce and hemlock dripping with lichens,
mosses and ferns. Among the rare species that depend on this Nature Conservancy
preserve for survival are the endangered Oregon silverspot butterfly and two
wildflowers, the Cascade Head catchfly and the hairy checkermallow.
The Nature Conservancy is an international, non-profit conservation organization dedicated to the preservation of plants,
animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters
they need to survive. Since 1951, it has protected nearly 12 million acres in the US, and over 61 million acres
around the world. The Conservancy is supported almost entirely through private, tax-deductible contributions.
