Community Engagement and Education
THE TRUST WORKED HARD IN ITS FIRST YEAR TO MAKE CONNECTIONS IN ITS SERVICE AREA IN MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES. TRUST STAFF TOURED THE AREA, AND MET WITH LANDOWNERS WHO MAY HAVE HAD A POTENTIAL INTEREST IN SELLING THEIR PROPERTY, OR ENTERING INTO A CONSERVATION EASEMENT WITH THE TRUST. TRUST STAFF ALSO MET WITH SUPPORTIVE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE AREA TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE WORK OF THE NEW LAND TRUST. THIS LED TO SEVERAL SOLID CONNECTIONS THAT MAY BEAR FRUIT IN THE FUTURE. OVERALL, WE REACHED A WIDE RANGE OF PEOPLE, AND GOT OUR NEW LAND TRUST ON THE MAP IN THE MID TO NORTHERN WILLAMETTE VALLEY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$120.3KOak Meadows Natural Area Acquisition
AFTER ONLY 3.5 MONTHS WITH FULL-TIME STAFF, THE TRUST SIGNED A PURCHASE CONTRACT FOR 270 ACRES OF VERY HIGH QUALITY WILLAMETTE WET-PRAIRIE HABITAT. THIS WAS A BIG STEP FOR THE NEW LAND TRUST. THE HABITAT PROVIDES AN AMAZING ARRAY OF WILDFLOWERS IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER MONTHS, AND IT HOME TO A WIDE RANGE OF WILDLIFE SPECIES, FROM MIGRATORY SONGBIRDS, TO REOOSEVELT ELK. THE TRUST THEN WORKED TO RAISE THE FUNDS BY THE END OF 2024, AND DID SO SUCCESSULLY IN RAISING $315,000 TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. THIS FIRST PROPERTY ACQUISITION WAS FINALIZED IN JANUARY OF 2025. IT IS KNOWN AS THE OAK MEADOWS NATURAL AREA.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.2K
