Dear Friend,
Hasn't the weather been unpredictable recently! From deadly atmospheric rivers of rain to freezing ice storms, damaging not just homes, but also devastating our public forests and parks. It’s just a few weeks ago that some of us in Oregon were without heat, light, or power during a freezing week of ice and snow. How I wished for a camp stove to heat up a cup of coffee or soup.
We would like to introduce you to a new friend of Oregon Parks Forever – GSI Outdoors. The founders, siblings Don, Ian, and Kathy Scott, were inspired to make cooking good food part of the adventure while camping. They are supporting our February Show Some Love New Members Drive by offering a generous 10% discount to people signing up this month. So don't delay!
Make a donation of $35 or more and receive a 10% discount at GSI Outdoors. You will receive a coupon code in an email with our receipt of the donation. Check out their great gear.
Oregon Parks Forever is a non-profit organization committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle and experiences in our parks and forests. From installing hiker/biker campsites to funding life-changing electric track chairs for those with mobility challenges. We raise funds for improving outdoors adventures and access.
To address the damages from wildfires and climate change, we initiated We Care For Parks, a program to address maintenance, rebuilding, and clean ups at parks damaged by climate events. We held our first volunteer event last November, and plan to have another this spring. Learn more about our programs.
Spring and summer will soon be here and now is a great time to gear up for a season of camping, cooking and eating outdoors. Support our work by making a donation today, and gear up for less for a great season outdoors.
We count on your memberships and donations to fund our current programs and the variety of projects we have planned that will enhance your experience in Oregon’s parks and forests so that everyone will have access to enjoy nature, places replanted and restored, and kids can learn and have fun.
