The Columbia Land Trust seeks to protect lands throughout the Columbia River Gorge and east side of the Cascade Mountains.
Klickitat River Watershed
A priority area for the Columbia Land Trust, the Klickitat River watershed supports threatened fish runs, state sensitive western gray squirrels, white oak woodland and a variety of other natural resources threatened by changing land use.
Klickitat River / Dillacort Creek
Columbia Land Trust received a grant from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board to acquire 580 acres along the Klickitat River and Dillacort Creek. A recently replaced culvert has restored salmon and steelhead access to Dillacort Creek. This project builds on lands conserved by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and will protect watershed function and spawning/rearing habitat in perpetuity. The land also supports a significant population of western gray squirrel, a state listed sensitive species.
Little Klickitat River
Columbia Land Trust has acquired a conservation easement over 350 acres of upland range, Oregon white oak/ponderosa pine woodland along the Little Klickitat River.
Cold Springs Conservancy
In partnership with Cold Spring Conservancy and the Paul G. Allen Forest Protection Foundation, Columbia Land Trust has acquired 202 acres of important conservation lands in the Columbia River Gorge. This acquisition is the first step in establishing the Little White Salmon Biodiversity Reserve - a research/education center in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge.
Rowena Wilds
Columbia Land Trust has partnered with local landowners to take ownership or acquire conservation easements on over 30 acres of Oregon white oak woodland along Rowena Creek near Mosier, Oregon.
Wind River
140 acres of forest land and Wind River frontage (both sides of river) was donated to Columbia Land Trust to conserve wildlife habitat, watershed functions, threatened salmonid habitat and open space.
