Western Rivers Conservancy

Western Rivers Conservancy is a land conservation organization dedicated to protecting the great rivers and streams of the American West through strategic land acquisition and stewardship. Based in Portland, Oregon, the organization has protected over 455 river miles and 227,000 acres across nine western states by purchasing critical habitat lands along the West's finest waterways. Their mission centers on conserving habitat for fish and wildlife, protecting essential cold water sources, and ensuring permanent public access to river corridors and recreational areas. Through partnerships with state agencies and tribal nations, Western Rivers Conservancy implements tangible, permanent conservation solutions that benefit both native species and communities throughout the western United States.
