Conservation Plan

We Have a Vision—one that’s easy to share. It surrounds us every day, from the thickly forested ridges of the Siskiyou Mountains to the verdant valleys of the irrepressible Rogue River and its tributaries: It’s the land we love and cherish.

Since 1978, the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy has worked on behalf of this magnificent, beautiful resource. Our mission is simple: To protect special lands in the Rogue Basin and surrounding areas for current and future generations by working cooperatively with landowners and communities.

As passionate as we are about the land, we care just as much about the needs and concerns of our neighbors and fellow residents. That’s why the Land Conservancy is a leader among regional land trusts in protecting unique properties with important agricultural, ecological, and community values.

For over 30 years, we have worked successfully with landowners and communities to conserve more than 8,300 acres of land in the Rogue Basin and surrounding areas on 49 properties.

The good news is that the number of property owners interested in conserving lands is growing. To meet this demand in a strategic manner, we’ve crafted a dynamic Conservation Plan. This highly collaborative effort has resulted in a tool that will guide the work of the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy over the next decade.
