In the last few weeks, volunteers have picked hundreds of apples, stuffed more than 1000 envelopes, gathered many meters of barbed wire, and restored miles of trail. Before the weather turns cold and wet, we hope to offer a few more volunteer opportunities! You can always check out all of our offerings at Volunteer Methow

It’s that time of the year when we ask for your financial support. If it has been about a year since your last donation, then you will soon receive our annual appeal mailing. We sure hope you’ll renew your support this year (or support us for the first time!), since gifts from people like you make up more than 70% of our Annual Operating Fund.
Our email inboxes here at the Methow Conservancy are often full of articles we share with each other to help inform our work or inspire discussion. We thought you might be interested in seeing what we’ve been reading. Editor’s note: These articles do not represent the beliefs or opinions of the Methow Conservancy or its staff. We offer them purely as a means of sparking discussion.
A few quick shoutouts to awesome people helping our valley in many ways.
