Join the Selkirk Conservation Alliance as we collect arboreal lichens to support the endangered Selkirk Mountain Caribou recovery plan. Lichens collected will be dried and used by the International Committee at the new Southern Selkirk Maternal Pen. This is the third pen authorized but the first which supports the last herd which still migrates annually into the United States. The pen will protect pregnant cows and their newborn calves until they are strong enough to elude our predators. After capture, the cows are weaned off their native winter diet of arboreal lichens to a pelleted zoo ration. Approximately 200 pounds of dried lichens are needed annually.Group collections are promoted on our Facebook Events page. However, if you are looking for a corporate team building volunteer opportunity? We'd love to work with you and your employees on a special group collection event. No special skills are required, though weather appropriate attire is needed.

Volunteer Leads are trained to be ambassadors of Columbia Springs and our mission. They help lead volunteer work parties and activities at events hosted by Columbia Springs. They also help with various other tasks that need to be done for our programs to be successful.Volunteer Leads use “teachable moments” and environmental education techniques to teach visitors about Columbia Springs, the fish hatchery, and the natural world. It is through this teaching that Volunteer Leads help spread an ethic of environmental stewardship in Clark County.
Volunteer Leads receive training to help them become environmental educators. They are only asked to do/lead tasks they are comfortable with. On-going training, enrichment opportunities, and frequent recognition of service are all essential parts of the Volunteer Lead program.
At Columbia Springs, we believe that the volunteer experience should be equally beneficial to the non-profit and to the volunteer. We strive to create meaningful volunteer experiences.
