Every event that Umpqua Watersheds hosts has ample opportunity for volunteers. We can always use ushers at concerts, folks to person our booth at events such as the Douglas County Energy Fair, or able-bodied laborers to set up our River Appreciation Day stage. In addition to events help, we would love office volunteers to work alongside the staff. Each season, we host a newsletter folding party (shown at left) that prepares the newsletter for distribution. Are you interested in writing? If so, you could contribute to our quarterly newsletter. Perhaps working in the outdoors is more your forte? Help us lead a hike! Each year, Umpqua Watersheds hosts dozens of hikes, and they are both educational and beautiful. Our volunteers do not go unawarded! Each year at our Annual Banquet, notable volunteers are given awards to show our appreciation and gratitude. Additionally, newsletter folding volunteers are fed pizza and soft drinks.
