Willamette River in mid-Willamette Valley

Willamette Valley Listening Tour

During September 1st-17th, 2025, we produced the Willamette Valley Listening Tour, which connected regenerative farms, mutual aid projects, ecovillages, and land-based sites of cultural significance to help build cohesive identities and stories of this unique ecoregion, informed by the flow of the river from head waters to confluence.

Northern Willamette Valley

Our team is primarily based in the greater Portland area, so most of our offerings presently relate to this location, although we have intentions to widen our network.

We are focusing on the Lower Willamette and Tualatin watersheds, weaving and building relationships with regenerative projects in the area.

 

Fringecup* Creek Land-tending

Our group recently adopted about a quarter mile of landscape in the South Burlingame neighborhood, which follows Fringecup Creek*. This has become a model for restoration work for other bioregions! Learn more here!

*formerly Stephens Creek, pending a formal renaming process. Please email us to get involved or make suggestions on the name!

Central Willamette Valley (coming soon)

We don't currently have a landscape team in the Salem/Corvallis area. If you would like to help start building a directory of your own for this area, please contact us!

 

Southern Willamette Valley

With members from the PROUT and Lost Valley Education Center, this team is heading up the bioregional organizing in the Eugene area. Also Dharmalya, in Eugene, has an active team which currently meets bi-weekly; typically via Zoom.
