The Cottonwood Circle

The Cottonwood Circle is an elite group of individuals who have volunteered for 10 or more years with the Land Trust.

The Cottonwood Circle is named for the majestic black cottonwoods that line Whychus Creek at several Land Trust Preserves.

Today, cottonwoods are rare in their distribution across Central Oregon. It is this rarity, like the volunteers who stick with us for 10 or more years, that inspires us to honor and revere these special trees and special people that are integral to a healthy landscape, a healthy land trust, and a healthy future.

Cottonwood Circle volunteers are incredibly dedicated people who have made an outstanding contribution to the Land Trust and our work to conserve and care for land in Central Oregon. Our community is truly a better place because of their efforts.

To celebrate this accomplishment, we launched the Cottonwood Circle and recognized these volunteers at our annual Open House and with a commemorative patch.
