The Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (STEP) - Contacting STEP

Volunteer projects and opportunities are defined by the diversity of fish resource management needs found throughout Oregon. Each of Oregon's watersheds has its own fish management priorities.

Local STEP biologists help volunteers determine what STEP projects can occur locally and are always on the lookout for ways volunteers can help.
