Celebrating 40 Years of Oregon Land Use Planning with One Epic Roadtrip


From 1000 Friends of Oregon website

Oregon is a state of great beauty, great communities, and great contrasts. From bustling cities to thriving farmland to wide open spaces, we've got it all, and we're all proud of it. Yet many of the places we celebrate in Oregon are the way they are thanks to people fighting for their protection, or working together for their improvement. 
The Oregon land use planning program is a big part of this uniquely Oregon story.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the program in 2013, we're launching this Land Use Trail. Not so much a single route as a compilation of 40 of our most treasured places. With each of Oregon's 36 counties represented, this Trail is a way to appreciate just how vital land use planning and policy is to the state that we love.
Using the map and lists below, check out the stops on our Land Use Trail.
And keep in touch this summer if you travel to any of these places--send us a photo via email, Twitter, Instagram, or Flickr. More details here. We'll share your pictures below!
See you on the trail,
The team at 1000 Friends of Oregon
