@RepMitchell32 Fantastic Tweet, Rep Mitchell! The best way forests can help sequester carbon is to let them grow in the first place! Did you see this recent research from @OregonState ? https://t.co/JMveij4FW5

Corporate Cash is killing our environment, and maybe our democracy as well.

Why has Oregon behind on so many important environmental fronts? Oregon’s failure to regulate campaign cash has made it one of the biggest money states in American politics. The flood of money created a climate where industry gets what it wants. https://t.co/I5z1s4JSNo

Logging does not stop fire, it destroys habitat, and it exacerbates climate change, but Congress has declared that logging areas 3x the size of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco will have no impact on the environment? Say what? #alternativefacts #fakenews

Preserving Oregon's older forests and modernizing our outdated logging rules would not only help protect clean water and wildlife habitat, but also provide important climate benefits that could make Oregon the nation's first carbon-neutral state! https://t.co/bw8OtVhkyQ

During #springbreak it can be hard to find solitude on the #OregonCoast but the Cummins Creek Trail, part of the #CapePerpetua Scenic Area, offers a quiet retreat amongst the old growth forest. https://t.co/tLRYGnR2IR

Woodpeckers offer a fascinating cast of drummers, as they try to proclaim a sound signal as far and as loud as possible. https://t.co/Sv5KaxCRSU

Should Rough and Ready logging get to keep millions in taxpayer funding after violating the terms of state loan and tax credit agreements? We think not. @OregonBusiness @OregonGovBrown https://t.co/Sb3SCtiD5x

What a great day to get out in the #clatsopstateforest! #pnwonderland #pnwwaterfalls

HBD to the expanded #Wilderness on #MtHood and throughout #Oregon! 9 years ago today, @BarackObama signed an act to protect over 200k+ acres as Wilderness in Oregon - including 127k+ on Mt. Hood! 📷: Last night's full moon Oregon Wild hike, courtesy of Jonathan Jelen.

New CWP report shows that U.S. #publiclands on Western states see more than 290 million visits each year. That’s nearly 90% of the entire U.S. population. Read more at https://t.co/YBZ8YFcYBg

This is exactly the message @tedwheeler needs to deliver at the Mass Timber Conference: "Given our position at the front of the pack, we should set a high bar for the wood we use in our buildings, because many will follow our example." https://t.co/BMvUzo5LXM #GreenBuilding #FSC

We're at the Convention Center & Mass Timber Conf pushing to modernize OR's weak logging rules. We can be a leader for green building, but not if we greenwash industrial clearcuts! #ClearcutExpress #ClearcutOregon https://t.co/pAAUOdlAmh @KGWNews @KATUNews @KOINNews @fox12oregon

The sequel to our Clatsop County GIF, here are 16 years of Tillamook County clearcuts. Pay close attention to Jetty Creek/Rockaway Beach, on the middle of the left side, just south of the Nehalem as it snakes into the ocean. 85% gone in this timeframe alone. #ForestProud

@ORStateForests Aren’t they just the best?!
