VISION
Columbia Land Trust leads and inspires private actions to conserve the great natural resources of the Columbia River region. We see a future that includes:
- Tens of thousands of acres of interconnected vital habitat and signature landscapes are conserved and restored to benefit nature, people and community.
- Communities and people engaged in and committed to conservation. In turn, conserved lands provide sustained support for economy and community, and reflect the values and character of the Northwest.
- Stable and enduring support for the Land Trust from individuals, corporations, foundations, public entities, endowment and related entrepreneurial activities.
- The Land Trust recognized locally and nationally for excellence of conservation, organization, and collaboration. Columbia Land Trust is a name respected for positive conservation work in every household in our region.
MISSION
The Columbia Land Trust conserves signature landscapes and vital habitat together with the landowners and communities of the Columbia River region.
VALUES
Integrity In all interactions we are honest, trustworthy, principled, and kind. We are accountable to ourselves and to the people of our region.
Respect People have been part of the Columbia River landscape for generations. We respect people and their relationships with the land and we learn from the communities with whom we work.
Community We collaborate with partners and communities to achieve common goals that positively contribute to the environmental and economic vitality of these communities.
Generational Responsibility The Land Trust works with future generations in mind. We seek to ensure that they will have their own opportunity to benefit from the resources they inherit.
Organizational Excellence We set high standards of quality in everything we do: conserving lands, building relationships, and practicing sound management and fiscal responsibility. Integrity and respect within the organization are requirements of integrity and respect for others.
