The Black Butte Conservancy is an all-volunteer non-profit with the mission to build and empower our community to protect and preserve the Black Butte region, now and for the future. The Black Butte region, home to native wildlife and human communities alike, is located within the Deschutes National Forest in Central Oregon. We are guided by five core tenets that determine the scope of our work – Stewardship, Connection, Restoration, Conservation, and Collaboration. The key to our success is YOU - our community of volunteers and donors!

Did you know that 3 billion birds in North America have been lost since 1970? Western forest birds have declined by almost 30%. According to 2019 research in the journal Science, habitat loss was cited as the primary driver of bird decline (Science: Three Billion Loss). Birds are sounding the alarm. The decline is literally “the canary in the coal mine” call to action! Birds are key indicators of environmental health and the effort to reverse this decline lies in proactive conservation measures. Birds are highly responsive to conservation efforts and by investing in conservation, all manner of plants, mammals, amphibians, insects, and fish also benefit from this biodiversity renewal.
