View the Future Secures $25,000 Grant to Boost Community Conversations Initiative

View the Future has received a significant boost for its initiatives, securing a grant of $25,000 from the Land Trust Alliance, Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts, and the Oregon Community Foundation. This funding is part of the Oregon Lands & People Project.

Purpose of the Grant

This grant aims to strengthen land trusts and expand the communities they serve. It equips local organizations with essential tools and resources necessary for conserving Oregon’s vital landscapes and waterways. Such support is critical, especially given the current limitations on funding for conservation efforts.

Impact on Yachats Community

The funds will be directed towards protecting Yachats’ unique cultural and natural heritage. This initiative comes at a crucial time, allowing the organization to enhance its engagement with the community.

Upcoming Community Conversations

View the Future plans to host a series of community conversations titled “Conservation Chats.” These discussions will focus on:

  • Understanding conservation easements
  • Exploring how they function
  • Weighing their pros and cons

Growing interest in conservation easements reflects a broader trend among landowners aiming to preserve their property’s natural values for future generations.

Get Involved

The organization encourages community members to participate in these conversations. They have already received considerable outreach for advice and partnership. View the Future expresses gratitude for the grant’s support and invites everyone to join the efforts toward a sustainable future for Yachats.

Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming “Conservation Chats” scheduled for this winter and spring.
