Thank you for getting involved in Oregon’s land use future
January 23 alert
Tell legislators to support bills that close loopholes and protect valuable agricultural and forest lands
For the first time in decades, the legislature will consider important improvements on agricultural and forest land protections – and they need your support.
The opportunity for luxury home and hotel development is driving up land prices in our designated resource zones, making it increasingly difficult for family farmers, ranchers, and timberland managers to lease or purchase land zoned for exclusive agricultural and forest use. New and beginning operators are being priced out of the market. In addition, exurban sprawl threatens other valuable resources protected by large blocks of agricultural and forest land, such as water and wildlife habitat
Use our form to send a pre-filled but editable message to your legislator expressing support for the legislature’s first positive action on agricultural and forest land protection policies in decades.
Report a land use issue
Is there a proposed development or land use that appears to be in violation with land use protections? Thanks to our generous donors and foundations, our team of land use attorneys and planners is here to help you understand if there is a potential or current land use violation. And, if there is a credible land use violation, we may be able to help you further: from advice to research to drafting documents to formal legal representation.
