Our Work
Helping the Oregon Conservation Partnership reach more Oregonians and build support for conservation work statewide
Oregon Conservation Partnership
The Oregon Conservation Partnership includes four distinct organizations – the Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts, Oregon Association of Conservation Districts, Network of Oregon Watershed Councils, and Oregon Conservation and Education Assistance Network. Each group has member organizations throughout the state working to conserve clean water clean air, and natural landscapes. Our job at Gard is to build awareness of and support for that work by telling stories throughout the state of how conservation benefits us all, from quality of life to a thriving natural resources economy.
