Blue Mountains Conservancy is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the enhancement, conservation, and public enjoyment of Pete's Pond in La Grande, OR. Their new mission and vision focus on protecting and enhancing the pond, providing wildlife habitat, and offering accessible environmental education opportunities to the surrounding community.
Founded by a group of dedicated volunteers, Blue Mountains Conservancy initially aimed to ensure perpetual stewardship of the End Creek wetland and facilitate the transfer of privately owned industrial timberland to public ownership. Through grants and partnerships with Eastern Oregon University, they have developed educational and research programs to restore the wetland and promote conservation of natural resources and biological diversity. Additionally, the organization played a role in negotiating the purchase of the Mt. Emily Recreation Area, preserving public access for recreational activities.
