Thank you for allowing the time to read our annual re-port.Itisareflectionofvaluedrelationships and shared accomplishments at LNCT. Weofferthisglimpseofourrecent work while recognizing our good fortune to have your interest, your support, and your friendship.Over and over, we are re-

minded how fragile this planet is and that it is time to act. In my earlier years, I was naïve enough to hope that “someone” would take care of all of the natural world problems that concerned me. I thought it was sufficienttorespectandappreciatetheforestsandwaterways, and do no harm. Today, I know that is not enough. We have learned that a salt marsh is one of the plan-et’smosteffectivecarbonsinks.TheLNCTcommu-nity can take great pride in saving Botts Marsh, one of fewOregonCoastsaltmarshes,providingoff-channelhabitatforyoungfishandotheraquaticcreaturesandplants.The 111-acre Headwaters property is another example ofhowourcombinedeffortscanreverseman-madeimpact on our land. Our volunteers have started the reforestation. We can take comfort knowing that these trees will grow to provide climate resilience through carbon storage for hundreds of years to come.I have learned the power of people working together when they have shared values and vision. LNCT is the embodiment of this. Along with many others, I take great pride in being part of the Trust and welcome those who want to join us. Together we can do a great deal to protect and preserve this beautiful place where we live, play, and enjoy nature.
