Help Coldwater Fisheries and their Habitats Survive
Projects abound for volunteers to participate with Association members, meet new people and perform work that advance education, restore damaged habitats and enhance fisheries. These efforts take on many forms depending on the scope and number of volunteers available. Examples of the work being performed all the time by Association chapters include cleaning stream banks of trash, hosting fishing clinics, teaching children how to fish, helping in spawning sessions at hatcheries, stream habitat restoration and monitoring work.
Many fish projects simply could not happen without volunteers. Volunteers provide the extra effort needed to get the job done.

Become a STEP Volunteer
The Northwest Steelheaders are also active in the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Salmon and Trout Enhancement (STEP) as volunteers on STEP is a growing program and Oregonians are eager to contribute time, muscle, money, and perseverance. The combined effort of all volunteers has made an important and measurable impact toward conservation of Oregon's valuable fish resources. Volunteers come away with a better understanding of fish and the systems upon which they depend. They achieve a strong sense of personal accomplishment through their hard work.
Interested citizens can help out in a variety of ways, from data collection and management to habitat restoration or education. Volunteer projects and opportunities are defined by the diversity of fish resource management needs found throughout Oregon.
If you wish to help as a STEP Volunteer, contact ODFW STEP at 503-947-6200.
