View the Future has announced a significant grant support of $25,000 received from the Land Trust Alliance, Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts, and the Oregon Community Foundation as part of their Oregon Lands & People Project. This initiative aims to enhance the capabilities of land trusts, driving efforts to protect Oregon’s invaluable lands and waters.
This funding comes at a critical moment when financial resources for conservation organizations are increasingly scarce. The support will enable View the Future to bolster its initiatives aimed at safeguarding the distinctive landscapes, waterways, and cultural heritage that define the character of Yachats.
In the upcoming months, View the Future plans to facilitate a series of community discussions focused on conservation easements. These conversations will explore what conservation easements are, how they function, and the advantages and disadvantages associated with them. There is a growing interest among landowners in these easements as a means to preserve the natural and cultural values of their properties for future generations. The organization expresses its gratitude for the community’s engagement and interest in partnerships on this vital issue.
Community members are encouraged to stay tuned for information on the anticipated “Conservation Chats” scheduled for this winter and spring. These events represent a collaborative effort to foster a sustainable and respectful future for Yachats, allowing residents to join forces in conservation efforts that benefit the region.
