How long have you been in operation?

Over thirty years! The Southern Oregon Land Conservancy formed in 1978 and was the first regional land trust in Oregon. Since then, we have been responsible for placing permanent protections on over 8,300 acres of important open spaces and working lands in Southern Oregon. For many years, the Land Conservancy was run by a dedicated group of volunteers. In 1991, the first executive director was hired and today we have a staff of five people to carry out our strategic mission.
