Join our team of conservation enthusiasts! Get an intimate view of land conservation when you adopt a property and become a volunteer land steward. As you return to your conserved place throughout the year, you’ll learn new skills, make friends, and contribute to a community effort to sustain clean water, abundant fish and wildlife, and diverse natural resource economies.
Special Lands Stewards assist McKenzie River Trust’s Stewardship Program by helping to implement the conservation management objectives for one of our conserved properties. Special Lands Stewards serve as the eyes and ears of the preserve and work closely with Mckenzie River Trust staff and other volunteers to conduct routine maintenance of the preserve, report poaching, and illegal dumping, maintain boundary marking, and undertake special projects as needed. Special Lands Stewards are provided an in-depth training and ongoing support and should be available to commit to the property for a minimum of two years. This is a great opportunity for those interested in gaining and/or increasing their skills in plant and animal identification, surveying, mapping, and leadership.

Mission Statement
McKenzie River Trust helps people protect and care for the lands and rivers they cherish in western Oregon.
Description
Clean, free-flowing rivers. Plentiful salmon runs. Vibrant farms and forests that provide livelihoods and habitat. From the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, we envision a future in which conservation lands are at the core of community efforts to sustain clean water, abundant fish and wildlife, and diverse natural resource economies 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.
