State of Oregon: 1000 Friends of Oregon

Tulsa, OK

The mission of 1000 Friends of Oregon is to work with Oregonians to enhance their quality of life by building livable urban and rural communities, protecting family farms and forests, and conserving natural areas. Originally incorporated as the Oregon Land Use Project, the organization serves the public interest as a watchdog group for the government agencies tasked with managing land use issues, and operates independently of partisan politics.

1000 Friends of Oregon takes a pragmatic, business-focused approach to mission success using the tools embedded in the 19 statewide land use goals to promote livability in every city and town so that they may effectively protect our working farms, forests, ranches, and vast network of interconnected natural areas. They accomplish this by engaging in community collaboration, education, and outreach in all 36 Oregon counties.
