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.
So far, both Oregon’s Senators and every Oregon Democrat in the House of Representatives have supported the Roadless Area Conservation Act, except for one. Representative Val Hoyle has not yet cosponsored this critical bill. Thank your representative today if they are a supporter of the Roadless Area Conservation Act, and urge Congresswoman Hoyle to join her colleagues in cosponsoring this bill.
Please take action today to protect Oregon’s wild heritage.
