Watersheds in Crisis
With Micha Gross & Dan Pennington, Myrtle Glenn Farm -  Coquille, Oregon

In the rural southern Oregon Coast Range, Dan and Micha attempt to carve out an existence among industrial logging corporations.  

Their presentation is a series of high-quality video clips that relay the story of their personal experience running a sustainable farm and homestead on the Middle Creek watershed and how upstream industrial activity impacts the water, fish habitat, safety, and aesthetics of Middle Creek.  

The Oregon Coast Range's largest remaining intact forest, one of Oregon's most important steelhead streams, and over 250 miles of free-flowing rivers just gained permanent protections from Congress! Thanks to years of leadership in Congress by Rep. Peter DeFazio and Senators Wyden and Merkley, the Devil's Staircase Wilderness, the Frank Moore Wild Steelhead Sanctuary, and a suite of Wild & Scenic Rivers protections are now on the books.

Join Cascadia Wildlands and Oregon Wild for a town hall discussion about BLM managed forests, timber sales, and key concerns for local public lands.

This month, we'll dive into what's going on in the state legislature. There are lots of bills out there this session on issues we care about - from forestry and aerial spray to wildlife and pollinator protection. We'll break them down - the good, bad, and ugly - and help you advocate in the most effective ways possible. Please join us to learn more and take action!

In February, we'll dive into what's going on in the state legislature. There are lots of bills out there this session on issues we care about - from forestry and aerial spray to wildlife and pollinator protection.

The face of public lands conservation in America is changing, but the public perception of who uses our National Forests, Parks, and other public lands hasn’t kept up with the times.  The people enjoying America’s trails, rivers, and natural areas today are younger and more diverse, and include a growing number of US military veterans.  From fly fishing on Wild and Scenic Rivers, to backpacking in National Forest Wilderness Areas, veterans are finding peace, freedom, and inspiration in our wild spaces.

Join us for the first Eugene Wild Ones program of the year! 

At this workshop, we'll be learning more about what's going on with wildlife - and in particular the wolf management plan - in the State, and prepare for our Wildlife Lobby Day in Salem on February 21. Danielle Moser, Oregon Wild's Wildlife Coordinator will join us on the phone to answer questions you might have. 

It's not Wednesday, but it will still be a great time! Join Oregon Wild for a presentation on how and where to snowshoe in central Oregon! We'll have tips and suggestions regarding everything from safety to gear to picking the most scenic trails. We'll include some "Snowshoeing 101" for those new to the activity as well as some tips on locations that would be applicable to all ability levels. 

The presentation will include:
