INspiring Personal connection to the natural world and community

Cascadia Wild is a volunteer-led, Portland-based 501c3 nonprofit organization. We coordinate the "Wolverine Tracking Project", a community science effort that aims to collects data on the wildlife of Mt. Hood National Forest through camera, scat, and tracking surveys.

GETTING INVOLVED at CASCADIA WILD 

The mission of Cascadia Wild is to connect people with the natural world, combining modern ecology with ancient practices of living with the earth. ​
We do this by teaching naturalist skills, creating meaningful interactions with local natural areas, and providing stewardship opportunities for serving the wildlife, forests, and land of the Pacific Northwest. Learn more about how you can get involved below.
