Our LandOur land offers a diversity of ecosystems, including an oak savanna, a natural meadow, a stream and riparian area, a pond, forested land, We get lots of rain throughout the fall, winter, and spring, during which the sky is often overcast. It tends more towards steady drizzle than heavy rain, although we certainly have our share of cloudbursts and rainbows. In the spring the weather is very changeable, often alternating between sun and rain on an hourly basis. The temperature is mild, although we usually have a couple of winter cold spells where the temperature gets well below freezing. Summers are warm and sunny, with usually cool nights and low humidity, although recent years have seen bursts of hot and sultry days.

and a regenerating forest. There are vegetable and perennial herb gardens, fruit and nut trees, and berry bushes. With the help of interns and volunteers, we produce vegetables to provide a portion of the produce needed by the community and educational center. We have a swimming hole, a solar-powered shower, a wood-fired sauna and hot tub. Lost Valley is surrounded by small farms amidst gently rolling hills, and within easy access of old growth hiking trails and lakes and the Willamette National Forest. Skiing slopes are about 1 hour up the road, and the Oregon Coast, with its water sports, camping, whale watching, and dune play, is about 1-1/2 hours away.
