Wild Rivers Coast Heritage Land Trust was established to promote land stewardship and protection of the open space, scenic beauty and natural resources of Curry and Coos Counties. The land trust worked for two years with a local timber company to acquire a strategic conservation property, but were unable to close on the purchase because of delays in federal grant funds.
Craft3 stepped in with a bridge loan to the land trust to acquire the property, which contains timberland with high conservation values. The purchase was made possible with guarantees from Meyer Memorial Trust and Wild Rivers Coast Alliance. Additional support was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and individual donors.
