The Oregon State Parks Commission is holding a listening session to gather public feedback on the proposed State Scenic Waterway designation for the Nehalem River. Two days later the Commission will make recommendations to the Governor regarding whether or not to protect the river. 

Join us for a panel presentation and insightful discussion about how our state can confront global climate change by modernizing our logging laws and better protecting our public lands.

Many of Oregon’s favorite breweries are part of the Oregon Brewshed Alliance, a coalition of Oregon brewers, community partners, and conservationists who work to draw the connection between healthy forest watersheds and the beer we enjoy… Because great beer doesn’t start at the tap – great beer begins with clean water!

The campaign to modernize Oregon’s outdated logging laws

Did you know that Oregon has weaker logging rules than our neighboring states? Join Oregon Wild on October 29 to learn more about the clearcutting industry and the local movement to modernize Oregon’s old logging rules.

Half of Oregon is covered in forests, which absorb and store a tremendous amount of carbon from the atmosphere. This makes our state uniquely positioned to confront the problem of global climate change. Recent research shows that clear cutting our forests dumps massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, making Oregon’s timber industry a major contributor to climate change. Other scientific studies have illuminated the role that old-growth forests can play in mitigating climate change by absorbing and safely storing carbon for centuries.
