Community Announcements 

Would you come, asks Salamander? 
to our Bells Mountain Spring Event?  We need your help.
This beautiful land is located 40 minutes NE of Portland OR, on hundreds acres, and is the potential site of our 2023 fall convergence. If enough people are interested we can gather in spring to get the site ecologically ready for more and bigger events later in the year, to protect our sensitive population and habitat of Cascade Torrent Salamander. ​

If you are interested in attending this spring event, to visit this land and participate in Salamander and forest garden restoration education and work parties please reply back and/or better yet take the steps below.
