Conserving Rivers End Ranch is on the horizon!

We’re working to acquire Rivers End Ranch and, in doing so, bring together neighboring landowners, Tribes, state and federal land managers and others to conserve and restore this incredible area.

Spanning 6,369 acres with significant water rights, Rivers End Ranch sits adjacent to Lake Abert—the only hypersaline lake in the Pacific Northwest. The ranch serves as a critical stopover for hundreds of thousands of migratory shorebirds and waterfowl and is home to sensitive cultural sites. 

Whether you’re already familiar with our work or discovering us for the first time, we invite you to learn about this extraordinary conservation opportunity through online informational sessions, our annual events, or by contacting us. Thank you for your interest and support!

Who We Are

Oregon Desert Land Trust is a nonprofit based in Bend, Oregon. We work with Tribes, landowners, land managers and other partners to conserve high desert lands in the southeast corner of our state. Our passionate staff, board members and volunteers help with acquisitions, land stewardship, outreach and more.

Where We're Working

The high desert spans across the south-eastern corner of  Oregon and covers a a quarter of the state—almost 10 million acres. Oregon Desert Land Trust has been working since 2017 to conserve these wild and working lands for people and wildlife. Our parcels are located in six distinct areas.
