A Pledge for the Wild

And give back to Bend through your support of the Bend Sustainability Fund.

Famous for both its outdoor activities and pristine beauty, the city of Bend, Oregon has been dubbed the “outdoor playground of the West” for a thousand good reasons. Visitors and locals alike enjoy world-class skiing at Meissner Nordic, fat-biking at Wanoga, fly-fishing on the Deschutes River, hiking and snowshoeing among the mountains of the Three Sisters Wilderness, and mountain biking in Deschutes National Forest, just to name a few.

Whether you’re just traveling through, a frequent visitor, or you call Bend home, we encourage you to take pause and consider the people and organizations that make these recreation opportunities possible. Who builds and maintains trails and parking areas, gets up before dawn on a January morning to groom the ski track, hangs signs, and clears blowdown?

Support the wild places of Bend with your donation. We recommend donating $1 per hour for time spent in Central Oregon’s outdoors.
