Current Opportunities
-
Adopt-A-Lek
The Adopt-a-Lek program trains citizen volunteers to conduct lek attendance surveys in remote areas of SE Oregon. The information collected by Adopt-a-Lek volunteers is entered into Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s long-term sage grouse database and are used to determine population trends and estimates that are needed for the on-going monitoring and conservation of the species.

Friends of Baltimore Woods
Baltimore Woods is a watershed area for the Willamette River. As a 1 1/2 mile buffer between industry and residential, it contains native White Oak and Big Leaf Maple. Friends of Baltimore Woods (FOBW) seeks to preserve North Portland’s Baltimore Woods not only for bicyclists, pedestrians and wildlife, but as an outdoor classroom for local schools.

Friends of Fanno Creek Headwaters
Friends of Fanno Creek Headwaters (FOFCH) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help save, restore, and educate about the importance of urban green spaces in the Fanno Creek Watershed. They value access to nature for all. FOFCH has used the trail project as a springboard to engage the broader community in various restoration and education programs that will maintain and improve neighborhood green spaces.

Harborton Frog Shuttle
In the northwest Portland town of Linnton, a group of dedicated volunteers physically assist the Red-legged frog population migrate twice per year. To make the journey from their elevated inland habitat to their breeding grounds in the wetlands below, the frogs need to travel about a mile across two local roads, busy Highway 30, and two sets of railroad tracks—often making the trip during rush hour in the early darkness of December and January.
