Let nature live. Let nature last.

What We Do
We are Oregon’s oldest statewide environmental nonprofit working to protect wildlands, wildlife, and waters for generations to come.
Through public education, direct lobbying, grassroots activism, litigation, watchdogging, and community building, we fight for an Oregon where nature doesn’t just survive but thrives.

Become a Citizen Co-Sponsor of the River Democracy Act
Support a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect 3,215 miles of new Wild & Scenic River designations across Oregon.
Our Impact
1.8 millionacres of Wilderness permanently protected in Oregon.
Our Impact
2,000+miles of Wild & Scenic Rivers safeguarded to protect clean water, wildlife habitat, and free flowing scenery.
Our Impact
2square miles of old-growth logged every day in the mid-1980s before Oregon Wild led the charge for the Northwest Forest Plan and stemmed the tide of ancient forest clearcutting.
We rely on our activist and supporter network to power change in Oregon and in the US.
