Great news for Oregon rivers! Congrats to @westernlaw @rogueriverkpr @CenterForBioDiv @pcffa1 @nfswildfish @cascwild

.@OregonGovBrown Thank you for your leadership in protecting Oregon's forests and appointing three new members to the BOF who share our values. This is an important step in moving away from managing our forests for timber revenue over conservation and recreation values.
Great news! Nearly 800 acres of public lands stay in public hands!
The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled in Cascadia Wildlands et al. v. Oregon Dept. of State Lands that the state of Oregon acted outside the law when it sold the 788-acre East Hakki Ridge tract on the Elliott State Forest to Big Timber. google.com/amp/www.registerg…

Unfortunately, management of our North Coast state forests increasingly resembles that of private industrial forests - harming the forest health, clean water, wild salmon runs, important habitat, and outdoor recreation opportunities. medium.com/@ar_47538/oregons…

Timber is Oregon’s biggest carbon polluter! Our large public forests can be better managed in ways that support wildlife habitat, local industries, and outdoor recreation. hcn.org/issues/50.11/climate… @highcountrynews
