Join the Bird Alliance of Oregon for Slough Fest!

From February 28-March 8, 2026, join Bird Alliance of Oregon and our partners for a week of fun programs at different locations along the Slough to raise awareness about its ecological importance. We’re building a community coalition to engage around the city’s upcoming Environmental Zone (e-zone) Remapping Process along the Columbia Slough corridor. Stay tuned for a “slough” of free events!

Join the Slough Fest Bioblitz! Participation is easy: All you need to do is take a photo, or record a sound, of any organism in the Columbia Slough watershed, and upload it to iNaturalist, and it will be recorded as an observation in our bioblitz. We hope to use this bioblitz to help decision makers understand the unique ecological value and diversity of the Columbia Slough, and your observation will join millions of others on iNaturalist, one of the largest community science projects in the world. You can follow along at the Bioblitz website, and we’ll have a prize for the top observer at the Slough Fest celebration at Level Brewing on March 8!
