McKenzie River Trust helps people protect and care for the lands and rivers they cherish in western Oregon.
Protecting special lands. The McKenzie River Trust acquires property interests in land with clear public benefits to ensure that those values will be available to people for many generations.
Restoring natural systems. The Trust works to enhance and reestablish the native vegetation, water cycles and other functional ecosystem elements appropriate to the places we protect.
Connecting people to places they care about. The Trust provides site tours, education events, demonstration and research sites, and information about the projects it manages to encourage public support for conservation efforts throughout the region.
MECCA is a non-profit arts and environmental organization dedicated to diverting materials from the waste stream and bringing them into our community's creative endeavors. We take what others may consider waste and turn them into creative materials, supplies for teachers, and affordable art supplies.
