A Generous Nature: Lives Transformed by Oregon profiles Seaside's own Neal Maine as one of twenty-one conservationists and activists who have made enduring contributions to the preservation of Oregon’s wild and natural places and high quality of life. These stories speak to their courage, foresight, and actions—at times against great odds— to enact legislation and motivate others to cherish and protect the places that make Oregon unique. Author Marcy Houle will be here to discuss her book and to recognize Neal for his creation of the North Coast Land Conservancy, Neal and current Executive Director Katie Voelke will be on hand to give a glimpse of NCLC's future.

We hope you'll join us at this free event. Portions of the sale of A Generous Nature will be donated to NCLC.
