The purpose of the Westwind Stewardship Group (WSG) is to steward in perpetuity a 508 acre parcel of property commonly known as "Westwind", situated on the central Oregon coast, at the mouth of the Salmon River, south of Cascade Head.
We exist in order to conserve this ecosystem, to create educational experiences for individuals and groups, and to provide facilities for the 10-week YWCA Summer Camp.
Through its site and programs, the WSG shall provide the context for people to participate in and look deeply at natural systems in operation, while providing practical ways to create more balanced and sustainable lifestyles.
- Wildness – we protect natural beauty, healthy bio-systems and solitude.
- Connection to Place – we focus on understanding the natural systems at Westwind and our place within them.
- Stewardship - our choices are informed by a deep knowledge of and respect for those natural systems, in order to honor the needs of current and future generations.
- Diversity – we celebrate and strive for biological, cultural and economic diversity.
