Circuit Rider Program
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.
Portland for Everyone
