Opportunities may have been limited this past year for Friends staff, members, volunteers, and activists to gather, but we remained united in our passion and commitment to protecting, preserving, and stewarding the Columbia Gorge for future generations.
Below are some highlights of Friends' 2020-21 work and accomplishments, illustrated both in pictures and in words. Our members, volunteers, and activists are the heart and soul of our work. Thank you for your ongoing support, energy, and commitment to ensuring the Columbia Gorge remains a vibrant, living place—wondrous, wild, and open to all.
