Join our Land Use Awareness Programs!

We warmly invite you to engage in conversations on the challenges of land stewardship. Ask questions, share your insights with our hosts, and hear about their experiences with Hood River’s unique land use system. We aim to create an open dialogue about the complexities of land use to understand the many issues better. Let’s learn from one another and find ways to navigate these challenges together. A more sustainable community is in our future!

We are currently finalizing our schedule. Please return later for specific dates and times for each of the activities.
