About

Columbia Land Trust is a conservation organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the Columbia River region across Oregon and Washington. Through strategic land conservation and habitat restoration projects, the organization works to preserve native ecosystems including oak woodlands, wet prairies, riparian forests, and grasslands while supporting watershed health and wildlife corridors. With a focus on natural climate solutions and restorative practices like controlled burns, Columbia Land Trust collaborates with tribal partners, landowners, and communities to ensure that native plant communities and the species that depend on them thrive for future generations. The organization engages the public through volunteer opportunities, donations, and educational initiatives, emphasizing that protecting this biodiverse region requires collective action and stewardship.
