Founded in 1990, Columbia Land Trust conserves and cares for the vital lands, waters, and wildlife of the Columbia River region through sound science and strong relationships. The nonprofit has conserved more than 64,000 acres of land in two states and 14 counties along the Columbia River, from The Dalles, Oregon, to the Pacific Ocean. Columbia Land Trust has earned accreditation from the Land Trust Alliance, which recognizes land trusts that adhere to national standards for excellence, uphold public trust with rigorous ethical standards, and take steps to ensure that conservation efforts are permanent.
Columbia Land Trust’s 25-year conservation strategy outlines our science-based, community-driven approach and prioritizes our work across five different ecoregions in our service area. Our conservation priorities include fostering landscape connectivity and resiliency, protecting and improving wildlife habitat, and facilitating public access to nature.
