About HRVRC

HRVRC is a community-based 501 (c) 3 non-profit that promotes safeguarding our farms and forests and promoting livable communities in Hood River County. We were born in 1977 when Hood River County wanted to rezone the agricultural upper valley into 1-unit-per-acre lots. A few members of the community joined together to promote "sensible growth" and through a grassroots campaign educated voters about why turning timber lands and orchards into second homes doesn't make sense for this valley.

Thirty years later, amidst a burgeoning housing boom, Measure 37 and UGB expansion, HRVRC remains galvanized on the preserving this unique valley.

Who we are
HRVRC is composed of 11 board members, executive director and over 300 members.
