Whereas Cascade Head Preserve and the adjacent segment of 
the Siuslaw National Forest have been recognized as a 
National Scenic Research Area and a United Nations 
Biosphere Reserve for its ecological significance; 
Whereas an estimated 15,000 or more people visit the Cas-
cade Head Preserve annually and use it as nature’s lab-
oratory to learn about grassland restoration and threat-
ened species, such as the Oregon silverspot butterfly, or 
to enjoy recreational activities along the Pacific Ocean 
and its coastal estuaries; 
Whereas Cascade Head Preserve is known for harboring rare 
and endemic plants, including 99 percent of the world’s 
known Cascade Head catchfly population; 
Whereas Cascade Head Preserve has hosted teams of world- 
known ecologists and experts from universities, zoological 
institutions, and Federal and State agencies who have 
employed cutting-edge science to catch, rear in captivity, 
and reintroduce the threatened Oregon silverspot but-
terfly; 
Whereas tourism and recreation in Cascade Head Preserve 
have helped stimulate the local economy by supporting 
several seasonal and full-time jobs and driving economic 
activity along the Oregon Coast; and 
Whereas Cascade Head Preserve also serves as nature’s 
classroom to youth from across the United States who 
learn about the importance of adjacent habitats, includ-
ing restoring tidal wetlands that provide vital salmon 
habitat and the recent protection of 122 square miles of 
marine reserves along the Oregon coast, which support 
community fisheries and local livelihoods: Now, therefore, 
be it
