In a world that seems to keep getting darker and more divided, where is our common ground?
In Oregon, it's in our landscape. People of all ages and backgrounds in the state agree that we have a moral responsibility to protect the natural world, and that clean air and water are vital for our economy.
We see this every day in the people who suport our work in the Willamette Valley. They show up to work together restoring habitat, maintaining trails, or to explore and enjoy their common ground. They give their financial support and their time to reach our shared goals. They find community and a common purpose.
Together, we can find solutions to the problems we agree on, even on the darker days, and make the world a better place for nature and for people.
"Human and ecological well-being are connected, and our common ground lies in the forests, farms, deserts, wetlands, rivers and coast that keep Oregon, Oregon."
You can join the Oregon Community Foundation and Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts in support of the work that Oregon land trusts like Greenbelt do to strengthen our ties with each other and with the land through the Oregon Lands and People Project.
