Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts

About COLT

The Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts (COLT) represents 31 conservation organizations that work to protect our land, water, and wildlife for all people forever. COLT's mission is to serve and strengthen the land trust community in Oregon by helping our members do what they do best—protect wildlife and wild places, defend working farms and forests, provide recreation and parks, champion clean water for all, drive climate solutions, and advance land justice. COLT's work is guided by a strategic plan that aims to 1) Advocate on behalf of land trusts, 2) Support a thriving land trust community in Oregon, and 3) Strengthen our coalition. We are collaboratively leading the Oregon Land Justice Project to expand Indigenous access, ownership, and stewardship of land.
