Projects

Now entering its second decade, Write Place continues to serve writers and artists in projects engaged with the natural world. Often this engagement begins with a direct action to help preserve and restore our immediate natural environment, our place on the planet.  Write Place supports national and local conservation organizations, hoping to find new ways that literature and art might help serve their mission.

With new offices at Western Oregon University, Write Place has partnered with the Luckiamute Watershed Council. The Luckiamute River, named after the band of Kalapuya Indians that lived along its shores, is an important tributary of the Willamette River. We urge our readers to learn more about the Luckiamute Watershed Council and support their efforts to “engage and assist landowners and communities in the voluntary protection, restoration and enhancement of the Luckiamute and Ash Creek watersheds.”
