1000 Friends of Oregon is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that advocates for sustainable communities, protection of farmland and forests, and conservation of natural areas and resources in the U.S. state of Oregon with a focus on land-use planning. It was incorporated on October 11, 1974,[3] following the creation of Oregon's statewide land-use system in 1973 by then-governor Tom McCall and attorney Henry Richmond.[4] By 1994, the organization had about 2,500 contributors and supporters.[14] Richmond served as the organization's first executive director.

Richmond was succeeded as executive director in later years by Robert Liberty (in 1994),[5] Bob Stacey (2002–09),[6] Jason Miner[7] (March 2010 to Nov. 2016), and Russ Hoeflich[8] (April 2017).

Current initiatives

The group's current work falls into three broad categories: advocating for vibrant, climate-friendly communities and neighborhoods, promoting Oregon's rural economy through policy and planning with the Healthy Rural Economies initiative, and an effort to foster future leadership in Oregon's land use community through the Land Use Leadership Initiative.[9] The group carries out this work through its Portland headquarters and three regional offices, working statewide with cities and counties and at the Oregon legislature.

Past initiatives

{{expand section|date=April 2018}}

During the 1980s, one of the group's ongoing activities was fighting what it saw as improper land-use by the rapidly growing community of Rajneeshpuram, created in a rural part of central Oregon by the followers of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.[5][10] Bob Stacey, the group's senior staff attorney at the time, recalled in 2018 that "if incorporation was a loophole to urbanize a rural area, any development entity could move 150 people onto a site, hold an election, and approve an annexation."[11]

Measures 37 and 49

The group strongly opposed Measure 37, a controversial land-use ballot initiative passed by Oregon voters in 2004. 1000 Friends brought litigation in 2005 that led to Measure 37's being ruled unconstitutional by a circuit court,[12] but the ruling was later overturned by the Oregon Supreme Court. The organization then advocated, successfully, for the passage of 2007's Measure 49, which limited the impacts of Measure 37.[4]
