The Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts invites you to celebrate the release of our 2026 State of the Lands report! This annual reflection on the collective work, shared vision, and resilience of land trusts across Oregon is a cherished tradition within our coalition.
The gathering is an opportunity to connect with conservation leaders, community members, and partners from across the state while honoring the shared commitment to caring for the lands and communities we all depend on. In a time that can often feel uncertain, land trusts continue to offer something steady and unifying: long-term stewardship, collaboration, and hope for future generations.

Featuring Voices From Across Oregon
This year’s event will spotlight perspectives from organizations working across diverse landscapes and communities throughout the state, including:
- Deschutes Land Trust
- Friends of the Columbia Gorge
- View the Future
- Oregon Desert Land Trust
- Western Rivers Conservancy
- Wild Rivers Land Trust
Together, these organizations will share stories about the work they are doing today to plant seeds for the next generation — strengthening communities, protecting critical landscapes, and advancing a more connected and resilient Oregon.
Supporting the Indigenous Land Relationship Fund
As part of this year’s launch event, we are also raising support for the Indigenous Land Relationship Fund.
As demand for this funding continues to grow, donations help advance land justice efforts across Oregon and support deeper relationships between land trusts, Tribal communities, and Indigenous-led initiatives. This work is becoming an increasingly important part of conservation and stewardship efforts throughout the state.
Why This Work Matters
Land trusts operate at the intersection of people and nature, building solutions that are as interconnected as the challenges we face. The seeds we plant today — through conservation, partnership, and community care — will grow into something much larger: a more resilient and connected Oregon for generations to come.
We hope you’ll join us to celebrate, connect, and invest in this shared work.
