Spend active time outdoors in a beautiful setting by volunteering with Friends of Buford Park!

The Friends of Buford Park & Mt Pisgah attribute much of our success in protecting and enhancing native habitat and compatible recreation in the Greater Mt. Pisgah Area to our amazing volunteers. We invite you to join the community that is stewarding this amazing place! Individuals and groups of all ages and varying degrees of expertise and experience help to care for this priceless resource.

How can you be a part of restoring habitat in the greater Mt. Pisgah area with Friends of Buford Park?

  • Clear invasive plant species
  • Plant native trees, shrubs and wildflowers
  • Help cleanup trash along riparian areas
  • Conduct plant and animal surveys

When? The Monday Morning Regulars are a productive and social group that meets every Monday morning from 9-noon, rain or shine, for a different task within the greater Mt. Pisgah area (see above for examples). We also have opportunities at Turtle Flats, our floodplain preserve, the 2nd Saturday of the month, as well as special events throughout the year.

Contact our volunteer coordinator at volunteer@bufordpark.org for more information. Please join us!

About Friends of Buford Park and Mt. Pisgah

Location:

P.O. Box 5266, Eugene, OR 97405, US

Mission Statement

To protect and enhance native ecosystems and compatible recreation in the Mt. Pisgah area.

Description

The Friends believe that people and nature are intertwined. We’re a self-funded non-profit of nearly 1,000 members and volunteers investing our time, talent, and money so people and nature can thrive together in the greater Mt. Pisgah area.

We partner with Lane County Parks, Mount Pisgah Arboretum, The Nature Conservancy, Oregon State Parks, and other area landowners to enhance native habitat, improve trails, and involve volunteers in caring for the land.

Since our founding in 1989, the Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah have raised and invested millions of dollars in cash and volunteer contributions for habitat and trail improvements. We also explore Pisgah’s hidden treasures on guided tours and advocate for land protection regionally, such as the 1,300 acre Willamette Confluence Preserve next to Buford Park now owned by The Nature Conservancy.
