OLCV Deschutes County Chapter

Our work

As the environmental voice in politics, OLCV works to elect pro-environment candidates and then makes sure they are doing what's best to protect Oregon's environmental legacy for generations to come.

For nearly a decade, OLCV has been working in Deschutes County to get pro-environment leaders in our public offices. We identify, endorse and campaign on behalf of pro-environment candidates and hold elected officials accountable on environmental issues.
