The Land Trust is currently working to conserve land near Bend and Sisters, Oregon called Skyline Forest. This 33,000 acre former tree farm was historically known as the Bull Springs Tree Farm. Surrounded by state and federal lands, Skyline Forest contains important wildlife habitat and protects the scenic green foothills that set off the Central Oregon Cascades. Skyline Forest is currently owned by Fidelity National Financial and these owners are in discussions with the Land Trust on how best to conserve Skyline Forest. Skyline Forest is not protected yet.

Note: Skyline Forest is current under deer winter range restrictions. The Land Trust asks that respect all private property in the area and compliance with the Winter Range Closure and related regulations. Learn more.
