The Friends of Silver Falls has developed several different programs and activities in order to accomplish our mission to preserve and support Silver Falls State Park through education. These programs offer a variety of opportunities for volunteers to get involved. From helping at the Interpretive Nature Store, to hosting a Discovery Table, or leading a guided walk, we offer something at every skill level.

Ways to Volunteer with Friends
