Two years ago, Oregonians saved the Elliott State Forest from logging. Now you can speak up for its future at a Tues 9/24 public meeting in Portland. https://t.co/1E1RLzmHsx

Great news for Oregon rivers! Congrats to @westernlaw @rogueriverkpr @CenterForBioDiv @pcffa1 @nfswildfish @cascwild

.@OregonGovBrown Thank you for your leadership in protecting Oregon's forests and appointing three new members to the BOF who share our values. This is an important step in moving away from managing our forests for timber revenue over conservation and recreation values.

Great news! Nearly 800 acres of public lands stay in public hands!

The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled in Cascadia Wildlands et al. v. Oregon Dept. of State Lands that the state of Oregon acted outside the law when it sold the 788-acre East Hakki Ridge tract on the Elliott State Forest to Big Timber. https://t.co/q2FEHNCf5Y

The Nehalem is largest “wild fish only” river in the Oregon Coast! A 17.5-mile section from Spruce Run Campground to Cougar State Valley is proposed to be a State Scenic Waterway by @OregonParksDept - can’t argue with that! https://t.co/vUeUMAAZmP

An interesting article on the role Oregon's forests play in climate change. "Oregon could quickly become carbon neutral if it reduced emissions in other sectors or increased carbon uptake in the forests." https://t.co/T1MVFaI1BA

Unfortunately, management of our North Coast state forests increasingly resembles that of private industrial forests - harming the forest health, clean water, wild salmon runs, important habitat, and outdoor recreation opportunities. https://t.co/SdpnyEPEzj

A lovely day on the Nehalem River. This section is properly set by @orstateparks to be designated as a State Scenic Waterway! #pnw #nehalemriver #pnwwonderland #tillamookstateforest #pnwexplored

Timber is Oregon’s biggest carbon polluter! Our large public forests can be better managed in ways that support wildlife habitat, local industries, and outdoor recreation. https://t.co/HRciFASu3e @highcountrynews

"Thanks to weak forest practices laws, the vast majority of streams on Oregon’s state and private forestlands have no protective buffers. If we want safe drinking water, we must restore natural forests." https://t.co/3NchPG8qLh
