Friends of the Metolius invites you to become a part of our efforts to preserve the lasting heritage of the Metolius Basin. Although much of our work relies on volunteer efforts, financial support is needed for legal fees, scientific and land use consultation fees, publication costs, and other expenses. As our membership grows, so does our clout with the public agencies that manage the resources of the Metolius Basin. And as a member, there is the immeasurable satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to securing the future of one of Oregon's finest natural wonders.

Becoming a member is easy. You are welcome to pay online using the PayPal button below.

If you would rather send a check simply complete our Membership Form and mail along with your payment to the address indicated. Please remember to include your email address so that we can alert you in a timely fashion to critical land use issues that require your attention.

Friends members receive copies of our quarterly Newsletter.

Legal and other expenses that the Friends incur in our efforts to provide a positive outcome as Jefferson County works to change its Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance are paid from the Metolius Defense Fund. The appeals process now underway is costly. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. Checks can be paid to Friends of the Metolius with a note designating the money to be placed in the Fund and mailed to the address above.

Our activities almost always require the help of members. Whether it's pulling noxious weeds, leading interpretive walks, doing trail maintenance, or working on construction projects around the basin we can use your help. Drop us a note and let us know your interests and when you are available.
