OREGON'S WOLVES AT RISK! |
|
OREGON LEGISLATIVE UPDATE! The 2011 Oregon Legislative Session has reached the half way point and your input is needed more than ever. The Oregon House is considering bills to make it easier to shoot Oregon's wolves, weaken protections for Oregon's cougars, and increase logging on state lands. Meanwhile efforts to create jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through school weatherization, and an effort to ban plastic bags face uphill battles. Click here to check out the latest updates and take action! |

PROTECT OREGON'S STATE FORESTS! Between April and June, the Oregon Board of Forestry will be making major decisions on whether to substantially increase logging in the Tillamook, Clatsop, Santiam and Elliott State Forests, or whether they will begin to protect special places and key watersheds from harmful logging activities. Please send an email the Department of Forestry and Governor today to register your opposition to unsustainable logging and support for permanently protecting older forests and key salmon watersheds on state lands.

PROTECTING THE OWYHEE CANYONLANDS! Oregon's Owyhee Canyonlands has been in the news a lot lately, giving new energy to our campaign to permanently protect this amazing place. Click here to send an e-mail to President Obama urging him to designate the Owyhee Canyonlands as a national monument! |
