Friends Board Refuge Tour 2026
Over the course of the day, the tour reminded FOMR board members that sustaining Malheur’s wildlife and diversity of ecosystems is both complex and deeply collaborative.

Friends of Malheur is deeply grateful to Gary and Alice for their decades of leadership, service, and steady commitment to the Refuge. Their legacy will continue to shape the organization for years to come, and we are pleased to honor them as Emeritus members of the Board.

Please submit your ideas and have fun with the contest while thinking carefully about the names you choose. The best ones may do more than identify the birds. They may help tell their story. Name submission deadline is NOON on Saturday 5/2

We are deeply thankful for Jill’s service and the heart she has brought to the organization. She will always be a valued part of the Friends of Malheur community, so don’t be surprised if you continue to see her around at events or in the store.

Her interest in birds, education, and organizational growth makes her a wonderful fit for the Crane’s Nest, where visitor services, retail operations, and public outreach all come together.
