Ochoco Preserve
The Land Trust acquired and protected the 185 acre Ochoco Preserve in 2017. The Preserve includes 1 mile of the Crooked River, 1/2 mile of McKay Creek, 1/2 mile of Ochoco Creek, and is located outside of Prineville, Oregon (see map below). Ochoco Preserve is home to a host of wildlife species including salmon and steelhead, a variety of amphibians, and many species of water birds and songbirds. The Land Trust has been working for several years to build a vision for the future of the Preserve. Our vision includes healthy streams, flourishing native plants and wildlife, and new connections for the community. Learn more about the project.
