ACCF works with a wide variety of formal and informal partners who are able to provide students and teachers with technical and educational expertise. Below is a list of some of our partners; please contact ACCF if you desire their assistance for an activity.

Bureau of Land Management

The BLM manages an 80-acre tract adjacent to the ACCF site, and additional tracts in the upper part of the Alder Creek-Jordan Creek catchment. Through a Memorandum of Understanding, the BLM is working closely with ACCF to provide technical support for our educational programs, supply protocol for vegetation assessment, and develop georeferenced data of ACCF and the Alder-Jordan Creek watershed.

Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians

The Cow Creeks manage much of the acreage in the lower part of the Alder-Jordan Creek watershed, and have been actively restoring lower Jordan Creek as part of a larger planned development, including a visitor's interpretive center. ACCF and the Cow Creeks are working together to provide educational benefit to youth and the general public from their natural resource projects on the watershed.

Educational Consultants

ACCF coordinates with a variety of educational specialists from Douglas County, statewide forest education organizations, and research universities to provide consultative services to instructors wishing to develop custom-tailored programs on ACCF and the Alder-Jordan Creek catchment. These specialists can help teachers craft their curriculum to meet Oregon standards, integrate active learning and sustainability into forest and watershed-based programs, include community needs and perspectives, and fully benefit from ACCF's online learning tools, including our Moodle course management system. In addition, we offer a growing network of teachers who can share their ACCF experience.

Friends of ACCF

Friends of ACCF is our network of community participants and volunteers who are ready to help teachers and students get the most from their ACCF activities. They can help in lots of ways: some have technical expertise, some simply enjoy working with youth. All offer a personal touch to ACCF's educational programs.

U.S. Forest Service

The U.S. Forest Service has been working closely with ACCF from the days of our early formative meetings. Via a Memorandum of Understanding with ACCF, the USFS now offers a wide range of technical expertise in forests and forestry, and we are working with them to develop protocol for all water assessment activities. Though there is no USFS-managed land in the Alder-Jordan Creek catchment, we are jointly interested in helping create a more informed and involved public who will productively participate in discussions related to management of federally-owned lands.
