PROTECT OREGON'S STATE FORESTS! On July 26, the Oregon Board of Forestry will be voting on whether to create new 'high value conservation areas' on state forest lands. The creation of protected conservation areas is a key way to protect clean water, salmon, older forest habitat and recreational opportunities on state forests. Make your voice heard by signing our petition in support of state forest conservation areas. Please contact northwest Oregon forest organizer Chris Smith to find out how you can help with the campaign and participate in the Board of Forestry's upcoming meeting. |

CAN YOUR EMPLOYER HELP THE ENVIRONMENT?
EarthShare, of which the Oregon Sierra Club is a member, engages people at their workplaces to garner new support for environmental endeavors throughout your local community, across Oregon, and around the world. The Sierra Club's membership in EarthShare Oregon enables us to reach out to a broad cross–section of the state that might not otherwise learn about our work. This boosts our financial support and helps us build bridges to new volunteers and supporters. Is your employer on the list? Will you help us convince your employer to take part in this important program? |
