Central Oregon LandWatch

Central Oregon LandWatch ("LandWatch"), based in Bend, Oregon, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1985. LandWatch plays a vital role in achieving a responsible, balanced approach to planning for and conserving Central Oregon's land and water resources, while recognizing the needs of future generations. Our mission is to protect and conserve the region's ecosystems and wildlife habitats, to foster thriving, sustainable communities and to spread the costs and benefits of growth equitably across the community as a whole. 

The organization's work is in four major program areas, Rivers and Springs, Farms and Forests, Urban Planning, and Wildlife Habitat.
