Pacific Northwest Resilient Landscapes Initiative

Five leading organizations — the Land Trust Alliance, Oregon Community Foundation, Seattle Foundation, Idaho Community Foundation and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation — have formed the Pacific Northwest Resilient Landscapes Initiative. 

Our goal is to unite and empower people from across our region to protect our lands and waters so their many benefits can be enjoyed by all people — now and for generations to come. Launched with a generous grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, this initiative helps to ensure nature thrives in a changing climate. By supporting land trusts — and the communities they serve — we strategically identify and permanently protect thousands of acres of climate-resilient natural lands across Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

The Pacific Northwest Resilient Landscapes Initiative links natural resilience with community resilience, supporting projects that strengthen access to clean water, reduce the risks of flooding and bolster local economic opportunity. It also encourages projects that advance social equity by benefiting communities disproportionately impacted by our changing climate.

2019 Projects

The projects will enable permanent protection and enjoyment of more than 20,000 acres of natural lands across Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Check out the projects below and click on each link for a profile of the project:

  • Chelan-Douglas Land Trust in Washington for the Cascades Modoc Highlands project of 2,135 acres;
  • Deschutes Land Trust in Oregon for the Priday Ranch project of 4,500 acres;
  • Great Peninsula Conservancy in Washington for the Rocky Creek project of 193 acres;
  • McKenzie River Trust in Oregon for the Finn Rock project of 210 acres and the Wren Marsh project of eight acres;
  • North Coast Land Conservancy in Oregon for the Rainforest Reserve project of 3,500 acres;
  • North Olympic Land Trust in Washington for the River’s Edge project of 104 acres, and the Lower Elwha River project of 33 acres;
  • Oregon Desert Land Trust in Oregon for the Jack Creek project of 483 acres;
  • Pacific Forest Trust in Oregon for the Mount Ashland Forest project of 1,675;
  • PCC Farmland Trust in Washington for the Reiner Farm project of 260 acres;
