Everything is connected.
During Earth Month, we take time to reflect on our connection with the outdoor world and rally for a better future together.
Our relationship with nature is based on reciprocity: it provides for us, but we must show up and give back in return. How do our choices affect this bond, and how can we ensure responsible stewardship in the future?
Recognizing the critical role of land conservation is vital. By safeguarding habitats, preserving biodiversity, maintaining clean air and water, and supporting human livelihoods, we uphold our commitment to responsible stewardship for present and future generations.
BMLT is a community-based, supporter-driven organization. You can make a profound and lasting impact, ensuring a future that is characterized by the beauty and abundance of the natural world.
Join us in supporting the Blue Mountain region by volunteering, sharing your stories, and backing our efforts to protect what's important. Every effort counts, no matter how small. Thank you for showing up. Let’s work together to keep the positive momentum going.
With gratitude,
The BMLT Team

As the winter's snow melts, the Middle Fork John Day River swells, forcing water out of the main channel and into side channels that only flood during a high-flow event like the one captured.
