1000 Friends of Oregon is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that advocates for sustainable communities, protection of farmland and forests, and conservation of natural areas and resources in the US state of Oregon with a focus on land use planning. It was established in 1975, following the creation of Oregon's statewide land use system in 1973 by then-governor Tom McCall and attorney Henry Richmond. Richmond served as the organization's first executive director. He was succeeded in following years by Robert Liberty, Bob Stacey, and – as of March 2010 – Jason Miner.

Famous quotes containing the words friends and/or oregon:
“Friendship demands a religious treatment. We talk of choosing our friends, but friends are self-elected. Reverence is a great part of it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In another year I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
