The friends of the Tumalo Wildlife Corridor relies on its supporters for all of its funds. We have had some material contributions from agencies.
Up until September of 2015, fTWC operated under the tax exempt umbrella graciously provided by the Oregon Natural Desert Association. Subsequently, fTWC received its own tax exempt designation at the state and federal level enabling us to manage our own accounts and offer the tax exempt benefit to our contributors directly. Due to extensive changes at the Prineville District BLM office, we have not been able to move forward with major educational initiatives. We therefore have focused on posting educational signage and, closing trails and roads previously designated by the BLM as inconsistent with the UDRMP. Click here for a financial summary.
Our plan is the post the costs of projects as they take shape and request resources for them. We always appreciate donations for our baseline costs. We also believe that our supporters are best served by knowing precisely what projects they are supporting. More as we know it!
Thanks: Peter Fullenwider – Secretary/Treasurer of fTWC.

All of our projects rely to a massive extent on volunteer work and public goodwill. Our volunteers have a wide variety of backgrounds and ages. Most live in or visit the area frequently. Our projects have already had a significant impact on the general environment from an extensive trash collection and clean up 
of the Tumalo Natural Area and the adjoining property of the Tumalo Irrigation District; through work to reduce the number of user-initiated trails along Sisemore Road, and two scientific studies to map the populations of Oregon’s rare Peck’s Milkvetch. We are especially committed to provide opportunities for our local schools to visit and work in the Tumalo Wildlife Corridor. On several occasions in 2014 and 2015, we have had project teams from ODA, Oregon State University (OSU) and 
Cascade Middle School mapping the Peck’s Milkvetch populations on Bull Flat. In 2014-15 we have an ongoing restoration study, which we hope will include students from Sister’s High School during summer 2015, as well as graduate and undergraduate students from OSU.
