Events and Outings

Joining a Greater Hells Canyon Council event or outing is one of the best ways to connect with us and see our mission in action. Come along for bumblebee and beaver surveys, lend a hand at a Blue Mountains Trail work party, or join us for one of our signature community events. We’d love to see you at an upcoming gathering—whether it’s our annual Fall Gala in La Grande or Hellraiser in Portland, both community-led evenings of advocacy, education, and fundraising.

If you would like to host an event for GHCC, join one of our event planning teams, or just learn more about volunteer opportunities, please visit our Volunteer page or fill out our Volunteer survey.
