Fall 2025 Newsletter

Last week we were fortunate to gather with a close group of supporters, staff, and volunteers to kick off our 2025 end of the year fundraising campaign and to celebrate the meaningful work we accomplished this year. It was a reminder of how much this community makes possible and how much energy there is behind protecting the biodiversity and richness of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.

Many of you recently received our Fall Newsletter in the mail if you are on our physical mailing list. We are pleased to share it with you here as well so that everyone has the chance to look back on our programs, partnerships, and stewardship accomplishments from this past year. From expanding our volunteer efforts to supporting student research to deepening our relationships with partners across the region, this newsletter reflects the shared impact of our community.

As we move into the final months of the year, we are working to raise $50,000 to support our programs and build a strong foundation for 2026. A generous donor has offered a $20,000 match, which means your gift will have twice the impact. These funds allow us to keep delivering exceptional educational programming, solidify our volunteer stewardship work, support our interpretive rangers, and build long-term capacity. If you are able, please consider supporting us today and helping us meet this important goal.

Thank you for your support and care for this special place and the work we do.
