Ensuring the Gorge remains a vibrant, living place—wondrous, wild, and open to all—is at the core of what we do. We are Friends of the Columbia Gorge, the only conservation organization entirely dedicated to protecting, preserving, and stewarding the Columbia Gorge for future generations.
Get Involved
Friends’ conservation work is driven by members, volunteers, and activists. There are many ways to join our community of Gorge enthusiasts. Here are some ways to get started:
Work for Friends
We have issued a Request for Proposal for a meeting facilitator. Application deadline is Sept. 26.
"A Climate of Change" Webinar
We teamed up with Columbia Gorge Climate Action Network to discuss efforts to safeguard Gorge communities from the effects of climate change.
Taking Education From Virtual Back to the Outdoors
One of Friends' outdoor education programs goes back outdoors with the help of a youthful, relatable "fish nerd" biologist.
