Willamette Confluence - Stakeholder Engagement

This Stakeholder Engagement process will unite individuals, nonprofits, utilities, and government agencies making land management decisions within roughly five miles upstream and downstream of the Willamette Confluence property through a shared 20-year vision and integrated conservation action plan. The geographic scope of the project focuses on McKenzie River Trust’s Willamette Confluence property, Lane County’s Howard Buford Recreation Area (Mount Pisgah), and the lower reaches of the two forks of the Willamette River. This work will provide a prioritization framework for a broad coalition of land managers to advance shared goals for land stewardship, habitat restoration, conservation education, public engagement, and infrastructure investments in the area. Contractors are tasked with researching and analyzing existing area plans provided by McKenzie River Trust, conducting stakeholder interviews, small group listening, and work sessions, collaborating with additional contractors to visualize conservation actions through GIS mapping, and finalizing the vision statement into a public-facing document.
