McKenzie River Trust |
|
|
The McKenzie River Trust is a nonprofit land trust founded in 1989 for the protection of critical habitat and scenic lands in the McKenzie basin in western Oregon. The Trust expanded its service area in 2000 to include the Siuslaw, Long Tom, Coast and Middle Forks of the Willamette, and Umpqua watersheds. Over its 20 year history, the Trust has worked with landowners and diverse partnerships to protect, forever, over 3,000 acres of special lands in Lane and Douglas Counties. The McKenzie River Trust acquires land through donation, purchase and conservation easements to provide the greatest assurance that sensitive lands are protected in perpetuity. These lands are protected and managed by the Trust primarily for wildlife habitat, water quality protection, and scenic values. Projects are tailored to each landowner's needs, rewarding stewardship of natural resources with both protection and financial incentives. Land conservation can only work with the support of the local community. The McKenzie River Trust strives to respond to the unique needs of each area it serves. We pride ourselves on being a community-based land trust, the only one working with willing landowners at a grassroots level in Lane and Douglas counties. The Trust develops strong partnerships with landowners, public resource agencies, watershed councils, businesses, municipalities, local utilities, and funders for the purpose of collectively working to protect, enhance, and manage special land. |
