Green Drinks
Welcome to a new form of Green Drinks! We wish we could have hosted you for drinks and appetizers plus sharing an outdoor adventure with you which we had planned. Nonetheless, we hope you have fun with this trivia!
Our fun form of recreation activities with our clients always includes the stunning backdrop of Mother Nature along with the adventure of outdoor play. Our tours also include vibrant interpretation of the natural and cultural history of what is our collective backyard. That's why we included trivia for our online Green Drinks event!
Our guides share meaningful insights of nature to ultimately inspire a sense of appreciation for natural systems which in turn inspires protection for these wild spaces. Please take a shot at your local natural knowledge below for the chance to score a half-day tour!
Thanks for joining Wanderlust Tours at Green Drinks and your support of the Environmental Center.

Green Drinks is an international concept that brings people together to learn about local businesses to discuss advancing a sustainable future for everyone in Central Oregon. We seek to partner with a wide variety of local businesses to demonstrate the many ways in which sustainability can be made real and tangible across industries and geographies. The Environmental Center's mission is to embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon. To us, that means driving local change that makes a world of difference.
Paddling
Paddling canoes and kayaks on our tours mimics the original form of North American travel beyond one’s own two feet! Native Americans modeled this mode of transport and we so love the Americana associated with paddling! Today, rather than sinking our boats after use to preserve them for future use, we clean them after every trip to ensure our waters stay clean and free of invasive species.
Caving
Our local caves have seen varied use over the years by Native Americans and Euro-Americans. From shelter to ice collection to exploration human use has always affected the caves. Current culture, for some crazy reason, includes marring our caves with sprayed graffiti. Wanderlust partners with the High Desert Grotto to sustainably sandblast graffiti away as well as our yearly cave clean ups, picking up trash for everyone’s enhanced cave experience. We so enjoy when volunteers from the public join us on our clean-up efforts!
Hiking
Leave No Trace- while long been a mantra of seasoned outdoors people, many people do not grow up with this ethic taught to them. One of Wanderlust’s roles is to help our clients understand how to sustainably visit the natural world. Hiking some of our trails allows us a platform to share nature’s wonders and in so doing we hope to establish understanding, appreciation and subsequently protection of the gifts nature bestows upon us.
Libations
Our amazing partners of our craft libations tours are able to produce outstanding product because of our water quality in the Bend area. The fun of tasting artisan concoctions would not be as readily available were it not for the incredible hydrologic cycle our local geology enables. Our tours include sharing the importance of water as our most precious resource on earth! We trust this translates to everyone’s sustaining this finite gift of water- for our lives and sipping suds!
