Volunteer opportunities with Blue Mountains Biodiversity Project:

Most of our volunteers participate in our summer field surveying program. Every summer, dozens of volunteers help us to field survey thousands of acres of timber sales on National Forests in eastern Oregon. The information we collect in the field is used as evidence in public comments, and in negotiations and litigation. We train volunteers in plant and wildlife identification, what to look for in proposed timber sale areas, map and compass orienteering, and other skills to help us stop or significantly modify logging in the Blue Mountains. You can read about this option here.

Sign up for our Action Alerts and updates!
We alert supporters of the need for comments on timber sales, livestock allotments, and other projects. When you comment it really does make a difference on the outcome. Even short comments can help stop or alter a sale. We also send out our biannual work reports and other updates.

We also accept donations of equipment, field gear, office supplies, and other items. We are particularly in need of: GPS units, laptops, digital cameras, dbh tape measures, compasses that can also measure slope, non-perishable food, and other similar items. Contact us if you have items you can donate or if you have any questions. Thank you!
