Can we get a round of applause for the volunteers at Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue? PNWSAR members are on call 24/7 to help find people who get lost or hurt in our region. But they also help keep our outdoor spaces looking pristine for others to enjoy. Among the team’s members are certified rope rescue technicians — like those pictured here collecting trash from hard-to-reach places.

PNWSAR is a non-profit organization that relies only on donations. Click here to learn more about how to support the team.
