With Gratitude

As the Trust advances towards site acquisition, we are reminded of the many tribal nations, governments, and individuals who have worked for many years to create access to Willamette Falls. We are incredibly grateful to these early visionaries who believed in the possibility of public access at Willamette Falls.
