ACTIVITIES

We believe that getting people out onto the land to learn about what we do and why we do it is essential to understanding how to best manage these resources for the future.

That’s why the Partnership for Lincoln Lands and Waters hosts a variety of educational tours and social gatherings year-round, designed to immerse the community in our region’s natural resources and educate about the work that goes into taking care of our lands and waters. Learn from real farmers, foresters and fishermen as they show our community the realities of working in land & water management.

2025 Tour: BEES TREES & SEAS

The first tour stop highlights a local beekeeper business, Beattie’s Bees, who manages honey bee hives across the Lincoln County landscape. Andrew Grant, owner, emphasized the importance of managing landscapes for multiple uses so that there is an abundance of forage plants for the bees throughout the year.

For the next stop, the group traveled up in the hills to tour a timber site managed by Manulife Investment Management. Jake Theimens, the Western Oregon Silviculture Manager for Manulife, explained the history of the timber unit and how it is being managed sustainably for timber products, habitat and recreation.

For lunch the tour group stopped at the Beaver Creek natural area and indulged in some amazing food prepared by Fish Mongers, a “boat to table” food truck based out of Waldport. Lastly, our group was fortunate enough to visit the Yaquina Lab at the Central Coast Food Web on the Yaquina Bay.
