Working together to keep the irreplaceable lands and waters of the Southern Oregon Coast forever wild and abundant
We believe our environment, economic prosperity and rural coastal culture are connected.
From Reedsport to Brookings, we conserve and steward the natural spaces that people and wildlife depend on for clean air, fresh water and healthy habitats. By partnering with willing landowners, we also help working farms and ranches preserve their legacies for future generations.

This summer, Wild Rivers Land Trust celebrated the permanent protection of 775 acres of working lands on the Wahl Family Ranch — a project more than 11 years in the making.
We had the chance to learn more about our very first conservation easement from WRLT’s Conservation Director Max Beeken, and hear about all the exciting things happening at Camp Myrtlewood from Camp Managers Shauna and Josh Danielson. We even got a surprise visit from John Jones, the driving force behind the creation of the conservation easement.
Wild Rivers Land Trust acquired one of our largest and most ecologically-diverse properties in July, 2023. The 275-acre Bagley North property encompasses a mix of natural features, including aquatic habitats, mixed forestlands and pastures.
The property contains more than 4,000 feet of the main stem of the Elk River, the lower portion of Bagley Creek, Indian Creek and other branches of the watershed. These tributaries flow into the clear, blue-green waters of the Elk River at the heart of Wild Rivers Land Trust's service area.
