Land preservation gets big financial boost
The Deschutes
Basin Land Trust got a big boost to its Metolius Preserve Campaign with
a gift of $10,000 from the Bill Healy Foundation and a gift of $100,000
from the Montag Family Fund.
The Land Trust is seeking
to raise $3 million by July so that it can acquire a 1,240-acre tract
of forest land on Lake Creek, a tributary to the Metolius River.
The Land Trust has been quietly
raising money since obtaining an option to purchase the land from Willamette
Industries and has raised roughly $1.9 million to date.
The acquisition is part of
a campaign to restore salmon and steelhead to the upper Deschutes Basin.
