Description: New River, Oregon Running parallel to the Pacific Ocean for nine miles, this BLM-administered coastal river is separated from the ocean by only a thin foredune of sand. Many rare birds, animals, and plants depend on New River’s estuary, forest, meadow, wetland, and shrub habitat for survival. Dedicated almost exclusively to Watchable Wildlife, the area remains secluded and primitive, providing nature enthusiasts with short, rustic, self-guided loop trails to view wildlife. ACECs are places where special management attention is needed to protect and prevent irreparable damage to important historic, cultural and scenic values; fish, wildlife resources or other natural systems or processes; or to protect human life and safety from natural hazards.
