Ever wonder where the water feeding Black Butte Ranch’s natural springs comes from? The answer lies deep beneath our feet! Join Black Butte Conservancy and geologist Dr. Daniele McKay for a fascinating exploration of how the Cascade volcanoes shaped Central Oregon’s landscape and created the remarkable underground water systems that feed our local springs and rivers.

We're Hibernating...But Not for Long!

As winter approaches, Black Butte Conservancy's volunteer committees are settling in for a well-deserved winter rest. But unlike our local bears, we won't be sleeping through the season! We'll be busy dreaming up and planning new ways to connect, conserve and make a difference in 2027.

Sign up for our newsletter to be among the first to hear about upcoming volunteer opportunities and ways to get involved in 2027.

Thanks to all our volunteers for a productive and successful 2026!
