Stewards United
Guiding those who care for Nature.
Stewards United is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to educate the public on the rights and responsibilities of stewards guarding our natural resources, including the fundamental right of the people to a healthy environment and the public trust duties of the state to present and future generations.

Join the cause with Stewards United
A current focus of Stewards United is to coordinate and provide educational and skills-building opportunities in collaboration with like-minded nonprofits and OCERA, the Oregon Coalition for an Environmental Rights Amendment, which supports the Right to a Healthy Environment as an amendment to the Oregon Constitution. Stewards United focuses on the power, value and benefits of such an amendment in general, and does not engage in any activity that might cause concern around nonprofit tax-exempt status.
If you or your organization would like to collaborate on a program or project, please reach out to us at team@stewardsunited.org.
Otherwise, please sign up for monthly updates from Stewards United!
What We've Done So Far
From March through June of 2026, we helped to lead the Ground Truth Listening Tour, collecting stories from Oregonians and their experiences with environmental harms. In July, we published a Preliminary Findings Report. A deeper dive will be published in a Comprehensive Report this November.
