Major Activities

Activity 2

Member services: * conservation - beyond the recreational activities of the mazamas, conservation is central to the mazamas' mission. Since inception, the mazamas have played a significant role in preserving existing wilderness areas. Historically we have played a role in establishing crater lake and mt. Rainier national parks, cascade forest reserve, three sisters wilderness area and portland's forest park. The committee endeavors to maintain a close liaison with officials in all land managing public agencies to ensure that the viewpoint of those who access and enjoy outdoor areas is clearly understood by authorities. We offer conservation grants, generally to northwest non-profit organizations. The committee keeps members informed of issues pending before local, state and federal governments concerning wilderness, wildlife, natural beauty and recreational resources. * publications - we publish a monthly bulletin, membership roster and annual journal, all distributed to members as part of their membership. Non-members may also subscribe to the bulletin for a fee. The bulletin contains news of our day-to-day activities, activities schedules, and reports on actions taken by the executive council and standing committees. The mazama annual features articles, reports and photographs of significant events and activities of the previous year. * library - housed in the mazama mountaineering center, our library contains an extensive collection of mountaineering books, periodicals and videos. The collection also includes biographies, trail and field guides, conservation and natural resource texts, books on travel and exploration, and videos on climbing expeditions.
