Working on our Stewardship crew at Heart of Oregon has plenty of perks, including great views while improving our lands through waste reduction and conservation projects. Members work on environmental projects throughout the year, such as recycling, litter patrol, fire-free week, and fuels reduction projects. This important work not only improves the community but teaches the members valuable job skills.

Heart of Oregon Stewardship crews are also available for hire by private businesses and individuals for 360 fuels reduction, building trails, irrigation, landscaping, fencing, and other projects. Please contact us to get a bid for your project.
