Central Oregon LandWatch

OUR MISSION: To defend and plan for Central Oregon's livable future. 

PROGRAM DETAILS: As we confront the pressures of increasing development and a changing climate, ensuring a balanced and sustainable approach to planning for the future of Central Oregon is critical.  An environmental watchdog and land use advocate, Central Oregon LandWatch guides development where it belongs. We protect the land and water that sustains our people and our wildlife and makes Central Oregon a one-of-a-kind place to live, work, and recreate

Our thoughtful, multi-pronged approach includes: 

STRONG LEGAL DEFENSE. We use the power of federal and state law to defend and protect the natural environment. 

SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED POLICY. We bring our expertise in land use planning to guide the way to a sustainable future that balances growth and development with natural resource protection and centers community voices.

PARTICIPATORY ADVOCACY. We facilitate public participation on land use matters and organize community engagement on critical natural resource and urban growth decisions. Thanks to our generous and active supporters, LandWatch is at the forefront of defending our region’s waterways, wildlife, farms, and forests and promoting vibrant and sustainable cities and towns.
