Back to Home Waters' Strategic Success

OREGON - When we last covered the Deschutes Basin Land Trust in 2003, they had recently completed a purchase of the Metolius Preserve, a 1,240-acre tract of critically important forest habitat. More recently, they protected the stunning 1,120-acre Rimrock Ranch. All of this is part of their successful Back to Home Waters campaign that originated in 2000. More (posted 12/1/06)

Partnering for Farms AND Salmon
American Farmland Trust (AFT) has partnered with Shared Strategy for Puget Sound to create a locally supported “Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan” that saves both farms and fish. The draft plan presents actions that can be taken to save salmon while also saving farms. When done properly, this can result in a “partnership for farms and salmon” in the Puget Sound, representing a huge step ahead for local farmers. The full plan can be found on Shared Strategy’s Web site. (posted 2/24/06)
