1000 Friends of Oregon is a non-profit organization based in Eugene, OR, dedicated to defending and preserving the land use protections that make Oregon unique. They work to ensure that Oregon's urban growth boundaries are carefully set to prevent sprawl onto valuable farmland, protecting the region's economy and food supply.
Through their legal wins and partnerships, 1000 Friends of Oregon safeguards farmland from non-farm activities, prevents the misuse of home occupation statutes for hotel construction, and advocates for housing affordability through zoning reform. Their mission is rooted in land use planning, and they actively promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their work. With their LULI program, they train emerging land use leaders to shape the future of Oregon's land use system.
