Willamette River conservation easement paves way for long-term fish and wildlife conservation
Greenbelt Land Trust announced the acquisition of conservation easements on more than 300 acres of Willamette River frontage property in Benton County that will benefit a number of species including Chinook salmon, cutthroat trout, Oregon chub, Pacific lampreys, western pond turtles and red-legged frogs. This project will permanently protect important habitat for fish and wildlife identified in the Oregon Conservation Strategy. These purchases were made possible through a strong partnership with the existing landowners, the land trust, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, the Bonneville Power Administration and the Meyer Memorial Trust.

"...There’s something both exhilarating and disquieting about seeing a lake where kale grew the day before, or produce trucks nose to tail like ships of the line in an inland sea you know is only knee deep. In an instant, everyone has a backyard wetland just where the swingsets stand. The feeling of unnaturalness, of something truly out of whack, accompanies every flood. People flock to photograph, to witness. It’s not new, we all remember past floods. Even so, the disquiet is genuine."
