1000 Friends of Oregon is a private, non-profit

501(c)(3) organization that advocates for land-use planning. It was incorporated on October 11, 1974,[1] following the creation of Oregon's statewide land-use system in 1973 by then-governor Tom McCall and attorney Henry Richmond.[3] By 1994, the organization had about 2,500 contributors and supporters.[4]
Richmond served as the organization's first executive director.

Richmond was succeeded as executive director in later years by Robert Liberty (in 1994),[4] Bob Stacey (2002–09),[5] Jason Miner[6] (March 2010 to Nov. 2016), Russ Hoeflich[7] (April 2017), and Sam Diaz (October 2021).

Past initiatives

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

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.[4][8]

Measures 37 and 49

The group strongly opposed

Measure 49, which voters ultimately approved, and which limited the impacts of Measure 37.[3]
