Blue Mountain Land Trust celebrates a quarter of a century of bringing communities together to protect working farms, ranches, and natural lands of the region. 25 years is a major milestone, an important opportunity to appreciate the hard work and dedication that is the legacy of collective community action.

When BMLT completes a conservation easement, we are responsible for regularly monitoring and collecting data to ensure responsible stewardship, leading to greater conservation benefits for the environment and communities. This ongoing land stewardship is what we mean when we say, “We protect the land you love. Forever.”

At the Blue Mountain Land Trust, we focus on building connections to place, strengthening relationships, and providing meaningful experiences outside. Our programs are designed to help build community, common ground, and connection with the land.

From the jagged Elkhorns in Eastern Oregon to the river trails outside of Dayton, WA, BMLT Blues Crew volunteers are dedicated to improving trails on public lands. Whether you’re a hiker, skier, biker, or birdwatcher, our volunteers work hard to ensure the trails are primed for every level of outdoor pursuits.
