Spark your enthusiasm about forest fires! We watched closely as the Eagle Creek fire burned through the Columbia Gorge and now that many trails are back open we will venture into the Gorge to witness the regrowth firsthand. We will learn about what contributed to this fire, what effects it had for the forests and surrounding communities and the role fire has in the rebirth of forests and the creation of new habitat. Learn about fire safety, Leave No Trace principles and what’s next for this ever changing landscape.

Educator

Tim

Tim started volunteering at Bird Alliance of Oregon in 2006 and joined the staff full time in 2008. Before living in Oregon, Tim spent several years studying bison in Yellowstone, Burrowing Owls in NE Wyoming and Marbled Murrelets in the old growth forests of the Coast Range. Tim leads with a curious mind and playful spirit, sharing jokes and making sure each camper is seen. He strives to help campers understand the natural world around them and what makes the plants and animals so inspiring and worth protecting. Camps become community, with space for everyone to contribute, share, play and grow. When Tim isn’t leading camp he is either at home cooking and baking, spending time outside, mountaineering, swimming in alpine lakes, biking, and reading.
