For 35 years, Paul’s leadership has propelled Central Oregon LandWatch to become the tireless defender of our farms and forests, our rivers and streams, and our thriving communities.

We believe that in preserving Central Oregon’s natural resources and livable communities, a just society for all people is more possible. A community cannot be livable when its Black residents are not safe. Central Oregon LandWatch stands in solidarity with those fighting to dismantle racism and to build a more equitable world.

LandWatch is pleased to announce the selection of Ben Gordon as our next Executive Director. As we celebrate our 35th year of defending our natural environment and building healthy communities, we are confident Ben has the vision and experience to guide LandWatch in its next phase.

Recently, we were lucky enough to welcome Gavin Burke to the Central Oregon LandWatch board of directors. He brings with him years of expertise as an entrepreneur, and a passion for Central Oregon that will help propel us into the future.
