What People Are Saying

“Willamette Partnership has helped add capacity to local coordinating efforts in the La Pine area, which allows Oregon Living With Fire Co-Coordinators to fully participate as a partner organization instead of a facilitation role. This brings meaningful benefit to the cross-boundary collaboration happening. Without Willamette Partnership, the work would be too challenging for Oregon Living With Fire to undertake." 

- Jodie Schiffman, Co-Coordinator, Oregon Living With Fire

“Conservation success has been limited in the Klamath Basin due to the polarization of the parties that must collaborate for success. Willamette Partnership staff has effectively created safe places in numerous working groups where everyone feels heard, valued, and respected and through this are willing to participate in creative solutions that benefit all.”

- John Vradenburg, US Fish & Wildlife Services

“For me, it’s an investment in my kids and grandkids. Protecting the natural places I loved as a child for my family is deeply personal and rewarding.”

- John Miller, Founding Willamette Partnership Board Member
