A LAND TRUST FOR THE
MID TO NORTHERN WILLAMETTE BASIN
The Year in Review - 2025! The Trust’s First full year of work.
Together We Did It! We Raised the Necessary Funds to Purchase the Ancient Prairie.
Thanks to a wonderful group of supporters, we met our goal, raising $228k that will enable us to close on the Ancient Prairie property in early January!
This conservation property is just fantastic. It supports species of wildflowers that occur naturally 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.
Between now and December 31, you can still support our stewardship and education work, which is a big part of what we do as a land trust. Thanks for your continued interest and support. Stay tuned for opportunities to visit the Ancient Prairie property, with dates posted in February, 2026.
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!
