Join us for a meaningful Earth Day adventure as we once again partner with the Deschutes Land Trust for a hands-on restoration project on Earth Day.
This year, we’ll head to the beautiful Priday Ranch Preserve—about 60 miles northeast of Bend—to help protect vital wildlife corridors.
The Land Trust’s mission is simple but powerful: to conserve and care for the lands and waters that sustain Central Oregon so both communities and ecosystems can thrive for generations.
Our role this year is to remove outdated fencing that can hinder wildlife migration—real, tangible work that makes a lasting impact.
We’ll gather at the Rivian Adventure Network in Madras at 9:15am (come a bit earlier if you’d like to top off your charge), then depart promptly at 9:30am for a scenic 20-minute drive northeast along Highway 97. Once on site, we’ll spend a few rewarding hours pulling posts and coiling barbed wire, followed by a well-earned break to enjoy our sack lunches together before heading home.
Come ready to roll up your sleeves, connect with great people, and make a real difference—this is Earth Day the way it’s meant to be.
