PROTECT THE TILLAMOOK AND CLATSOP FORESTS! The Oregon Department of Forestry is taking comments until 5pm, Wednesday, May 25 on the Annual Operations Plan and 10-year Implementation Plan for much of the Tillamook and Clatstop State Forests. These plans call for major increases in clearcutting and roadbuilding and significantly reduced protections for older forests. They were also harshly criticized by an independent science review. Click here and send your comments TODAY! Check out the latest blog post for more information on our state forest protection campaign, including upcoming outings to the Tillamook and Clatsop State Forests! |

CONTACT YOUR STATE SENATOR TODAY! Though there is only about a month left in the 2011 Oregon Legislative session, now is a critical time to make your voice heard.

Within the next week, the Oregon Senate will likely vote on a bill to streamline the permitting process for controversial LNG pipelines, including the 230-mile long Pacific Connector pipeline, which would cross Oregon's Rogue River, old growth forests, and numerous salmon bearing streams in order to import, or potentially export, LNG.
