CMCA Watershed Conservancy Project
Cape Meares, Oregon
The Cape Meares Water Conservancy Project was established as an urgent call to acquire and preserve some privately held forest land adjacent to the community. The effort expanded the existing contiguous Cape Meares Community Forest, protecting the hydrologic function of the watershed, the water source for the Cape Meares Community, and maintaining recreational access for the community. This also strengthened the connections between waters, landscapes, and lifeways that include Cape Meares Lake and Bayocean Spit.

Constructive Form collaborated with the Cape Meares Community Association, nonprofits, land trusts, local and county government for over three years, providing technical expertise, strategic planning, land use services, and on the ground community organizing.
