SaveSunriver.org was started by a group of Sunriver homeowners who deeply love Sunriver and believe strongly in what Sunriver is and what it has been committed to.  It is stated beautifully on the SROA's Community Development Department welcome page:

"Sunriver is a residential and resort community committed to maintaining and enhancing its unique character in partnership with nature. Set in a unique environment, Sunriver is blessed with natural attributes rarely found in any development. The architects and planners of Sunriver understood the need to reduce man's intrusion and preserve the beauty of the forest environment. To ensure that their plan would reach fruition, they adopted strict environmental and architectural standards. These standards were developed to protect the natural attributes that attracted us here in the first place.

It is essential to the continued aesthetic and ecological quality of Sunriver that all structures and landscaping are compatible with one another, and are in harmony with the natural surroundings. Several surveys made it evident that Sunriver owners support this ideal and wish to preserve our quality of life and beauty of the forest environment. Balancing optimum livability and quality of life with sensitivity towards the environment isn't always easy, cheap or popular; it's just the right thing to do!

We didn't inherit Sunriver and its wonderful natural attributes from our parents. We're borrowing it from our children. Giving priority to conservation of our environment over economic considerations is worth every struggle. To that end, the Design Committee is dedicated and committed to the fulfillment of their obligation to ensure that the standards established for the physical development within Sunriver and the preservation of its environment are enforced.

If we succeed, tomorrow's generation will thank us for our efforts."

We could not agree with this SROA statement strongly enough.  It is why so many of us have been drawn to Sunriver, either as homeowners or as visitors.

While we are not against any growth or redevelopment, we are committed to assuring that it is in keeping with the spirit of what is Sunriver.  Our goal, mirroring the SROA's statement above, is to see Sunriver passed on to our children and future generations as the treasure that it is .

We are happy to say we are not alone in our desire to see Sunriver preserved by pursuing a measured and more respectful approach to development.  If you would also like to join those that share our feelings and would like to be a member - or if you just have a question or comment, send us an e-mail.  You can e-mail any of us directly or send your e-mail to:  info@SaveSunriver.org.  Become a member by sending us your e-mail address and full name(s) and address to:  Members@SaveSunriver.org
