Get Involved
Volunteer with Friends
Friends' volunteers lead hikes, assist with research, attend public hearings, contact elected officials, educate the public, restore native habitat, provide office support, and more. We'd love to have your help!
Come take a Hike
The beautiful Columbia Gorge is home to over 800 species of flowering plants, fifteen of which are found nowhere else in the world. Volunteer naturalists and wildflower experts have been leading Friends' Hiking Program for over 20 years.
Take Action on Important Issues
One of the most effective ways to ensure Gorge protection is through direct action by activists like you. We can work hard to influence decision makers, but it is much more powerful when decision makers hear from their constituents, whether through letters, through testimony at a hearing, or by reading a letter to the editor in your local paper. Please visit our Take Action page to see what issues need your attention and how you can help.
Stewardship and Restoration Projects
Friends of the Columbia Gorge participates in many different stewardship projects throughout the Gorge. For upcoming work parties please contact Renee Tkach at 503-241-3761 ext 103 or renee@gorgefriends.org.
