As a neighbor of Deschutes Land Trust's Ochoco Preserve, we want to keep you up-to-date on activities at and around the Preserve. That's why we've created this Ochoco Preserve news hub with links to our Neighbor Newsletters and other updates from the Preserve. We also encourage you to join us for hikes near the Preserve, volunteer at the Preserve, or contact us if you have any questions. Thank you!
