Crag Law Center

Crag is a client-focused law center that supports community efforts to protect and sustain the Pacific Northwest’s natural legacy.  Crag’s goal is to support the restoration and protection of the environment by providing a full range of legal services to local citizens, conservation groups, recreation clubs and environmental organizations.  By helping to professionalize our clients’ work, Crag supports them as they strive to achieve their own missions. 

Through this work, Crag seeks to secure lasting, on-the-ground conservation victories and elevate the public’s perception of the conservation movement.  Crag remains client-focused, which ensures that our work is focused by the issues that matter to local citizens and empowered by strong community outreach, organizing and grassroots support.

In response to the needs of local communities, the Crag Law Center has established three main areas of work:

Public Lands Program

Salmon, Water and Wetlands Program

Livable Communities Program

These three program areas involve a wide range of projects across a variety of landscapes, from the Oregon Coast to the Summit of Mt. Hood, from the rivers of the Willamette Valley to the headwaters of the McKenzie River, and from the forests of the rugged Siskiyous to the high desert benches in the Wenaha river basin. 

Through the dedication and hard work of our clients, all three of our program areas continue to expand. Read on to learn more…
