Protect Oregon’s Roadless Wildlands
Tell your members of Congress to stand up for Oregon’s wild places and pass the Roadless Area Conservation Act
The Trump administration has announced plans to eliminate the Roadless Rule, a bedrock conservation safeguard that protects nearly 2 million acres of Oregon’s forests and nearly 60 million acres nationwide from logging, roadbuilding, and development. This critical policy preserves the last of our wild public lands as homes for wildlife, havens for recreation, and natural legacies for future generations.
Oregon’s most iconic landscapes—from Hardesty Mountain near Eugene to Tumalo Mountain near Bend, Echo Mountain in the Willamette National Forest, the forests around the Cascade Lakes, the Oregon Dunes, and beyond—are being put at risk. When roads cut into these places, they fragment wildlife habitat, spread invasive species, increase fire risk, and open the door to destructive industrial logging and mining.
We have a chance to pass critical legislation, the Roadless Area Conservation Act, that would permanently safeguard these lands in law and stop the Trump Administration’s attack on our roadless wildlands.
But we need your help and elected leaders who will stand firmly against attacks on our public lands.
In Oregon, both Senators Wyden and Merkley are supporting this legislation, as well as Representatives Salinas, Bomanici, Dexter, and Bynum. Only Representatives Bentz and Hoyle are not co-sponsors.
If you live outside Oregon, this action will also urge your elected representatives to support the protection of Roadless wildlands.
Please take action today to protect our nation’s wild heritage.
