Volunteer Opportunities
PUBLIC STEWARDSHIP
Each year, WAIN partners host several public restoration efforts by land, AIS Identification Workshops, and Paddle & Pull events from the river. Sometimes there is also a need for volunteers to help with monitoring through weed surveys, share ID expertise, or there might be a need for qualified, experienced paddlers to join us as a safety assist. If you are interested in getting involved with Wapato Revival activities as a volunteer, or if you are a professional seeking to organize a volunteer opportunity in partnership with the Willamette Aquatic Invasive Network, please send us a message and let us know!
