Volunteer Opportunities
Become an “Invasives-watch” volunteer and help prevent the spread of invasive species while you hike, garden, boat, or fish. Or, adopt an area near you that is in need of invasive species monitoring. Being an invasives watcher is easy and fun - you just need to learn to identify the species, look for them, and report! We aslo welcome people to join "rapid response" weed pull parties. See the TNC EDRR page to learn about local EDRR programs you can get involved in. Or contact Tania Siemens (tania.siemens (at) oregonstate.edu, 541-914-0701) for more info about volunteering or to attend a workshop.
