A LAND TRUST FOR THE
MID TO NORTHERN WILLAMETTE BASIN

Help Us Protect this Ancient Prairie!
We have an amazing opportunity to protect 100 acres of wet-prairie that has never been tilled! Somehow this property missed being plowed over the decades, and as a result it retains an array of naturally occurring native wildflowers from the seedbank that is very old. Our land trust is working to raise $228k (NOW - $150k to go!) to make the purchase of this fantastic place in Linn County, and we have until year end to make it happen.
Some species of wildflowers here occur in only a handful of other places in the Willamette Valley. This place is simply very special, and it is emblematic of why land trusts work to protect land in perpetuity. Consider supporting this effort today!

We are excited to announce the acquisition of our newest property - Mountain Prairie!
In late August of 2025, this 72-acre wet prairie was donated to the Willamette River Preservation Trust. The site holds an amazing array of native wildflowers that bloom from April through September. Along with these are a range of native grasses and sedges. There are also multiple mature oaks on the site. Scroll down our Protected Places page to learn more!
