The Oregon Land Conservation and Development Act of 1973 set a framework for land use planning that preserved local responsibility for land use planning and established statewide public interest goals.
1,000 Friends of Oregon is doing critical work to ensure that local decisions about land conservation and development reflect the voices of Oregonians and not those of special interests. Since its founding in 1975, the organization continuously works to carry out the vision of, "An Oregon in which all people share in the economic and ecological benefits of great communities and healthy working landscapes."
