OHA's Volunteer Program

Header

OHA is committed to protecting and restoring wetlands in the Okanogan Highlands, and there are a variety of areas that you can become involved in. You can help OHA protect, restore and preserve the Okanogan Highlands by becoming involved in OHA’s mine monitoring, education and/or restoration programs. Throughout the coming year, OHA will need volunteers in the following areas:

  • Assisting with exterior wall cleaning and preparation for mural painting 
  • Helping out at education events
  • Creating educational props
  • Assisting with supervision of children during field trips
  • Working to improve restoration sites
  • Writing comments to agencies about issues of concern
  • Trail building
  • Helping pull noxious weeds
  • Helping identify migratory songbirds during spring survey
  • Taking water measurements (OHA will train you)
  • Donating pictures related to our watershed

Even if you do not live in the highlands, there are many ways to share your skills.

If you would like to volunteer in any of OHA's programs, please fill out our volunteer survey. If you have questions, please email Julie Ashmore, Conservation Coordinator: julie@okanoganhighlands.org. 

Thank you for your interest! 

Action Alert

The Tonasket Ranger District of the Forest Service is accepting comments for an environmental analysis of the Echo Bay Exploration, Inc. proposal to develop a groundwater supply well for exploration drilling. The proposal would drill a 600-ft borehole in fractured bedrock, and conduct airlift testing during drilling, to determine where water-producing fracture zones are present. In order for the Marias Creek Pump Test to provide useful results, the test points need to be relevant and the methods should be suitable to generate the information needed to ensure adequate environmental protection.
