 Friends of Mount Hood
Friends of Mount Hood is a nonprofit organization dedicated to monitoring development and management of national forest lands on Mount Hood. We are especially interested in protecting the alpine meadows, wetlands, streams, wildlife, and forested slopes on the mountain. For nearly two decades, our emphasis has been on safeguarding the natural environment at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area, which operates on national forest land under a special use permit. This area contains the Hood River Meadows and Stringer Meadows wetlands, numerous fragile alpine meadows, clear flowing streams that feed into the East Fork of Hood River, and high alpine stands of mountain hemlock and slow growing white bark pine. Recently, our efforts have also included monitoring the region surrounding and within the permit boundary of the Cooper Spur Ski Area on the northeast slope of Mt. Hood.

Donations to Friends of Mount Hood support our ongoing effort to protect the environment on the mountain.
