Land Conservation & Stewardship Fund
Eugene’s most treasured places — Spencer Butte, Hendricks, Skinner Butte, Owen Rose Garden, and Alton Baker Park — exist today because earlier generations had the vision to protect and invest in them. Their foresight gave us parks that define our community, connect us to nature, and enrich our lives.
In the last five years, EPF acquired more than 100 acres of private land and gifted it to the City of Eugene for long-term stewardship and recreation — balancing conservation with public access.
Now it’s our turn to continue that legacy. Through the Land & Stewardship Fund, the Eugene Parks Foundation is securing the future of both our wild landscapes and the trails and parks we enjoy every day.
What Your Gift Makes Possible
- Conservation & Acquisition: Ensuring critical natural areas are protected for public use through land donations and timely acquisitions.
- Recreation & Access: Creating trails, open spaces, and connections that allow more people to explore Eugene’s beauty.
- Long-Term Care: Providing permanent funding for maintenance, so parks and trails are well cared for — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
- Lasting Impact: Endowed gifts provide financial stability and flexibility, ensuring your commitment to parks lives on in perpetuity.
Why It Matters
Land conservation and public access require more than vision — they require stewardship. An endowed fund means that when you give today, your generosity continues to grow, ensuring that Eugene’s parks are protected, enhanced, and maintained forever.
Join us in building a living legacy — conserving land, creating connections, and caring for our parks for generations.
