McKenzie River Trust creating connections
Bob Williams / THE CHRONICLE. Brian Bangs, aquatic ecologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has been working with the McKenzie River Trust for 18 years and recently led a tour of the Willamette Confluence, leading participants to beaver dam locations.
Conserve. Protect. Educate. Connect.
McKenzie River Trust (MRT) has been branching out and offering tours to community members who want to connect with the land that surrounds them.
A nonprofit organization since 1990, MRT is a regional land trust which conserves and protects about 4,000 acres of land in Western Oregon. It aims to help people protect and care for the lands and rivers that they cherish in Oregon.
With that mission in mind, Connect with the Land tours are scheduled throughout the year in an effort to bring people to the land and learn more about MRT conservation projects, according to Holly McRae, events and outreach manager.
“We do (tours) with a variety of different subject matters, but basically the whole idea is just to connect people to what it is we’re doing and why we do it,” McRae said.
