The 2019 Oregon Legislative Session has begun. Read up on our biggest priorities!
Thank you to our 2019 donors so far, and to everyone who supported us throughout 2018—Oregon's land use system is stronger because of you!
Love Oregon? So do we! And we're looking for a few new team members.
Could you be our next Executive Coordinator, or perhaps our first-ever Working Lands Engagement Coordinator?
Or perhaps you're interested in becoming a Land Use Leader through our LULI program?
Are you a young person with an interest in land use and public policy? You could be our next Gerhardt Intern!
Our newest report (created by 2018 Gerhardt Intern Ashlee Fox) offers detailed policy recommendations to keep Oregon safe.
Since 1974, 1000 Friends of Oregon has worked with Oregonians to enhance our quality of life by building livable urban and rural communities, protecting family farms and forests, and conserving natural areas.
Every year, we deepen our impact through programs, partnerships, and public involvement from Oregonians like you.
Our Circuit Rider program brings professional land use advocacy and legal assistance to towns and cities outside the Portland region, including rural and underserved communities. Our Circuit Riders work to protect working lands and prevent misuse and sprawl throughout Oregon.
Our Portland for Everyone program encourages city decision-makers to enact policies that allow abundant, diverse, and affordable housing options throughout the Portland. By diversifying housing types to include ADU's, duplexes, triplexes, and internal conversions of existing single-family homes, we can prevent sprawl and create more choices for Portlanders now and for the next generation.
