We wan't to hear from you
Help us understand your perspective on parks and undeveloped natural areas near the confluence of the Middle and Coast Forks of the Willamette River. This survey will help create a shared vision to guide land stewardship, habitat restoration, conservation, education, and resources in the Willamette Confluence area, and other nearby places.
Wear your care for Oregon's Lands and Rivers
From upland oak savanna to the rocky intertidal zones of the Oregon Coast, our work connects landscapes and communities.
Now, you can celebrate these special places with a custom designed t-shirt by local artist, Emily Poole! Shirts, mugs and totes are now available for purchase online through a print-to-order system.
