For Central Oregon’s Livable Future

Defending Farms, Forests, and Waterways. Creating Complete Communities.

Where We Work

  • A sweeping view of a fertile valley with patches of green fields, winding roads, and sparse trees, surrounded by rolling hills under a cloudy sky.

    Rural Lands

    LandWatch monitors land use actions across Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties, challenging and defending against inappropriate development on rural lands.

  • Aerial view of a small city showing buildings, streets, trees, a river, and a hill in the background under a clear blue sky.

    Cities & Towns

    Our aim is too see that the cities and towns in Central Oregon have safe and vibrant neighborhoods accessible to all.

  • Open landscape with green shrubs, scattered trees, and mountain range under partly cloudy sky.

    Wild Lands

    To support biological diversity and critical wildlife habitat, Central Oregon’s wild lands need to be protected. We monitor and improve the agency plans and policies that affect these critical lands.

  • A river flowing through a lush green forest with tall trees on both sides and patches of grass and shrubbery near the water.

    Waters

    LandWatch improves water management in our region and helps restore critical habitats for fish and wildlife in our rivers and wetlands.
