The Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts (COLT) is a newly formed nonprofit representing and

landowners, communities, public agencies and other partners to maintain the state’s natural
heritage and the economies it supports. COLT will accomplish its mission by strengthening public
policies and programs that are supportive of land conservation, helping to build capacity within
and across land trusts, and communicating to key audiences about the role of land trusts in
conserving Oregon’s natural heritage and healthy human communities that depend on it. There
are currently 18 land trusts that are members of COLT.
