75,000 Acres in the heart of the Gorge
In our 36-year history, we've conserved 60,000 acres. With this opportunity, we are poised to more than double that impact by the end of 2028. It's ambitious and it's exactly the type of bold action that's needed to keep our region thriving.
Significant and lasting impact
-
Connected Habitat
Keep habitat corridors and migration routes, like the Pacific Flyway, intact to benefit over 200 wildlife species.
-
Public Access
Ensure continued access to world-class recreational activities like kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, and hiking.
-
Tribal Priorities
Advance the goals of our Tribal partners by supporting salmon recovery, restoring oak habitats, and protecting access for cultural priorities.

Resiliency
Build climate and wildfire resilience through the active care and management of pine forests and Oregon white oak systems.
