Opportunity Details
Day of Caring with McKenzie River Trust
McKenzie River Trust works to protect and care for more than 10,000 acres of land for fish, wildlife, water quality, and the people of Western Oregon.
Join us for a Day of Caring at the Willamette Confluence, a 1,300-acre property at the base of Mt. Pisgah, where the Coast Fork and Middle Fork of the Willamette River meet. The property features large-scale restoration projects and extensive habitats that are increasingly endangered in the Willamette Valley, providing a sanctuary for fish and wildlife in our urban backyard.
The Willamette Confluence is a place where nature and community intersect through volunteer land stewardship, limited mobility tours, educational nature walks, environmental education partnerships, and other guided access opportunities.
Spend the morning working around beautifully restored gravel ponds home to beavers, turtles, birds, and other wildlife. We will focus on invasive blackberry removal and trash pickup to preserve this special habitat and ensure native plantings are free to grow.
No experience is required—tools, gloves, and light refreshments will be provided. If you have any questions about tasks or accessibility, please get in touch with volunteer manager Sarah Wheeler at swheeler@mckenzieriver.org.
The Willamette Confluence is only open to the public during official events. We want to offer some additional time to enjoy this beautiful space. You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch, camera, binoculars, walking shoes, or a camp chair and hang out from 12:00 to 1:00pm if you like!
