This new research center at @uoregon will provide timely & fresh help to Oregonians dealing with wildfire smoke choking communities statewide. Glad to have worked with @SenJeffMerkley to secure this vital federal investment.
The Wildfire Smoke Research and Practice Center will focus on community and household planning and preparation, and developing effective planning, preparation, and response during smoke events. klcc.org/disasters-accidents…

Great news! Thanks to @POTUS, @SecDebHaaland, and @BLMNational for taking a major step forward toward lasting protections for mature and old-growth #climateforests. Now it's up to the @USDA @forestservice to follow. #LetThemGrow #SavePublicForests
Thank you @SecDebHaaland @BLMNational and @Interior for taking this first important step towards a new, strong conservation rule. Please ensure our mature and old-growth #ClimateForests remain standing to fight #ClimateChange for future generations. oregonwild.org/about/press/d…

BREAKING NEWS: Wolverine spotted near Portland, OR for the first time in over 30 years!
Wolverines are threatened in Oregon and the few in Oregon are usually only spotted in the Wallowa Mountains, so the fact one was spotted so far west is a huge deal.

BREAKING: REI to remove PFAS from their products!
This is major for protecting more communities, wildlife, and the environment from these toxic chemicals, and will hopefully have a ripple effect in urging other businesses and corporations to do the same!

Here is one quick way to take action for our forests! Thank you @kswild for providing this letter.
You can take action right now by telling the Biden Administration these forests need protections ASAP before more are lost. Taking action only takes a moment, and the letter is prepared here: tinyurl.com/mwfrrdah

Since social media is 98% saturated with #ElectionDay stuff, our advice is to close Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc. and go #VOTE.
And with this tweet, it's up to 99% saturation. Sorry.
