Olivia Duren is running for the Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District’s Zone 4 board seat in the November 3, 2026, election. The Oregon Department of Agriculture’s August 27 certification lists her for the four-year term. All district voters may vote for each director position, including zone seats.
Experience and public service
In her candidate-submitted statement in the November county voters’ pamphlet, page WC-44, Duren identifies herself as a Gaston resident and restoration program manager at The Freshwater Trust. She lists a master’s degree from Oregon State University, a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University, service on the district board and experience with the Oregon Invasive Species Council.
In a 2023 Q&A published by her employer, Duren described working with landowners, municipalities and other organizations on river restoration. She explained how forests and wetlands support water quality and how restoration can combine conservation benefits. That interview provides professional background, rather than current campaign questionnaire answers.
Campaign priorities
Her November pamphlet statement emphasizes protecting rural land and agricultural and forestry uses, helping residents access conservation expertise, and supporting district staff. She describes working with landowners and community partners on watershed restoration and says she wants to bring her professional conservation experience to continued board service.
