From the Coquille River, flowing by beautiful Bandon-By-the-Sea's historic lighthouse, on southward to the ancient redwood trees towering across the headwaters of the Winchuck River in Oregon's Banana Belt, we offer land trust services to all watersheds and communities along 101 miles of breathtaking coastline replete with wild rivers, fishing villages, heritage forests.


Promoting Voluntary Land Conservation

Our Board of Directors,  staff members, and volunteers work passionately to promote conservation. From the Myrtle Point/Powers area to Brookings/Harbor, Wild Rivers Land Trust purchases at-risk properties, holds conservation easements, educates citizens about voluntary land conservation, and introduces landowners to contemporary methods they can use right now to protect their treasured ownerships in perpetuity.

Roseburg Resources Company, a local timber company, recently sold us 217-acres of steep native forest containing 1½ miles of salmon streams in the Bald Mountain Creek watershed. Bald Mountain Creek is the major producer of Elk River steelhead.
We still need to pay for this acquisition. Please donate today to help safeguard Bear Creek Natural Area's native forest and the sparkling cold salmon streams that flow through its canyons.
