Great news for Oregon rivers! Congrats to @westernlaw @rogueriverkpr @CenterForBioDiv @pcffa1 @nfswildfish @cascwild
NEWS RELEASE: Court of appeals upholds OR suction dredge mining ban.
We intervened, arguing in favor of the ban because suction dredging rivers is extremely harmful to wild salmon and steelhead.

Last week, Wildlife commissioners reversed their previous vote to list the marbled murrelet as endangered after receiving pressure from politicians & the clearcutting industry. Tell @OregonGovBrown we need commissioners who will protect Oregon's wildlife! org.salsalabs.com/o/1780/p/d…

@ORDeptForestry has proposed widespread #clearcuts of Oregon’s Tillamook & Clatsop State Forests in 2019. Ask @OregonGovBrown to protect the proposed Nehalem State Scenic Waterway & to support the conservation community recs to the State Forester. bit.ly/2JjyKfq

The sequel to our Clatsop County GIF, here are 16 years of Tillamook County clearcuts. Pay close attention to Jetty Creek/Rockaway Beach, on the middle of the left side, just south of the Nehalem as it snakes into the ocean. 85% gone in this timeframe alone. #ForestProud

Hiking in the PNW right now might be less dangerous than eating a tide pod, but only slightly. Make sure you have a copy of 50 HIKES when you hit the trails this spring, and watch for any changes in the landscape! #50HikesGuide bit.ly/2mXBHFg

Are you asking these questions when you buy your 2x4's?
Where does this wood come from?
Is this wood FSC certified?
Who is your forester?
