The McKenzie River Trust is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) land trust that actively works to conserve land by acquiring land through donation, purchase or by holding a conservation easement.  The Trust also works to be good stewards of owned land and conservation easements by implementing and managing restoration projects.

The McKenzie River Trust partners with willing  private landowners in Lane and Douglas counties to protect special lands forever. Oregonians have long cared about land and water; the natural systems that sustain us with clean drinking water, rich soils to grow food and provide habitat for the species that live in the McKenzie and Willamette Basins. The natural beauty of these special places also provides a source of inspiration in an increasingly urban environment. The Trust works to ensure that these natural areas, which are essential for the health of our communities exist for future generations.
