About Marmot Cabin and the Miller Wildlife Sanctuary
Joe and Amy Miller donated Marmot Cabin and the Miller Wildlife Sanctuary to Bird Alliance of Oregon in the 1970s to help inspire the next generation to love and protect the natural world. Students sleep in our two 30-foot yurts and learn in both our forest and our 3,200 square foot cabin offers a large education space, commercial kitchen, adult sleeping quarters, and is ADA accessible.
