It’s hard to help feeling like part of something much, much bigger when you’re standing on the shores of the Pacific.
Look out and watch a sea lion splash in the foamy distance.
Glance behind for a panoramic view of the Coast Range, where elk, deer and squirrel roam free among the douglas fir and the salmonberries. Still above that observe the drama of freefalling eagles locked in a timeless battle of wills. Look down and say hello to brightly hued tide pool dwellers and scavenging seagulls.
Living peacefully alongside this wondrous assortment of life is a community of conservationists dedicated to preserving the wealth of wildlife for generations to come.
