Our Priorities

We help people in Clackamas County solve land management problems on private property. This includes improving habitats for wildlife, controlling erosion, getting rid of harmful weeds, replacing failing septic systems, keeping forests healthy, and more.

Soil

Healthy soil helps our farms, ranches, forests, and even our backyards thrive.

Water

Clean and plentiful water supports people, plants, and animals in Clackamas County.

Farms

Successful farms support the farmers, the community, and the local economy.

Forests

Well-managed forests are productive, fire-adapted, and home to diverse wildlife.

Wildlife

Diverse wildlife habitat provides healthy and functional forests, rivers, and landscapes for future generations.

Weeds

Invasive weeds raise food costs, harm wildlife habitat, and lower property values.
