Initial analysis of the Roadless Rule comment period is in, and 99% of comments support keeping Roadless protections in place. Read more about the comment period, and how this is one piece of a coordinated attack on public lands in our latest blog post. oregonwild.org/public-comme...

5 HOURS LEFT to comment on the Roadless Rule. These are the last undeveloped forests in the US, and they need our protection. Please take 10 minutes today to speak for the trees. oregonwild.org/our-work/pro...

“Imagine Oregon’s forests as a pizza,” LeGue said. “The logging industry, over the last several decades, got to eat all but one of the slices of pizza. We’re being asked what is a fair way to share the last slice of pizza with them.” lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/enviro...

When we say forests store carbon, we mean FORESTS. Not just trees. Carbon cycles keep the soil healthy, and leaving old growth trees keeps the forest cooler, wetter, and is one of the best climate solutions available to us. A fascinating (if frustrating) read: www.earthisland.org/journal/inde...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has opened a public comment period on a proposal that threatens to dismantle the Roadless Rule, threatening the last of our intact public lands as a home for wildlife, a haven for recreation, and a heritage for future generations. oregonwild.org/oregon-wild-...

"It was inspiring - and a lotta fun - supporting our indigenous partners ... along with hundreds of people calling for restoring justice, salmon, and a free-flowing Snake River. It's past time to breach the dams!" -Oregon Wild staff Rob Klavins youtu.be/j-BNG2BevcY?...

The Trump administration is attempting to systematically dismantle the Forest Service, placing communities, wildlife, and public lands in danger. Help us push back on Trump’s war against public lands and nature. oregonwild.org/dont-let-tru...

It's hard to find a river more worthy of protection than the McKenzie River in Oregon, and @wyden.senate.gov's River Democracy Act would do just that! Read on to learn more about this vital and beloved watershed, and the historic effort to protect Oregon's rivers. oregonwild.org/river-democr...

Thank you @salinas.house.gov @repdexteror.bsky.social and @repbonamici.bsky.social for standing up for wild intact ecosystems, our drinking watersheds, and backcountry outdoor recreation in our roadless wildlands. #RoadlessRule #SaveRoadless #RoadlessForests

We'd like to say thank you to all of you who spoke up to defend our public lands and a specific SO to @ronwyden.bsky.social @jeffmerkley.bsky.social @repdexteror.bsky.social @repvalhoyle.bsky.social and other members of Congress who opposed efforts to sell off public lands in Oregon and beyond.

The Trump administration claims roads in forests prevent wildfires. Researchers disagree. Experts say repealing the "Roadless Rule" won't help stop fires, but it will help loggers. grist.org/wildfires/wi... #Wildfire #Wildfires #USDA #Forest #Policy #Politics

Inside Utah’s PR campaign to seize public lands. Utah used actors, AI, stagecraft, and NDAs as it sought to sway public opinion and take control of 18.5 million acres of federal public land. grist.org/politics/ins... #Politics #Utah #AI #NDA #PR #Climate #PublicLand

We did it! A Senate proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land to fund tax breaks for billionaires is dead. Millions from across the country and the political spectrum joined together to send a clear message: our public lands are not for sale.

In the final hours of the 2025 legislative session, a landmark bill to fund wildlife conservation fell short. But we'll be back!

This is not a party-line issue. Our wildlife, the habitats they depend on, and the democratic process deserve better.

This is great news, but I'm not breathing a sigh of relief just yet. Republicans will no doubt try to sneak a new provision in that clears this procedural hurdle. But this is a sign of what's possible with public pressure, so if you care about your public lands, keep it up.

This resignation is a warning sign. Hands off Crater Lake. Hands off our national parks.

“Our way of life in Oregon is deeply connected to our rivers and public lands,” the letter states. “Whether we’re fishing, guiding, paddling, or simply enjoying the natural beauty, these rivers power both our economy and our identity as Oregonians.” oregonwild.org/outdoor-busi...

"Tourism is vital to our economy, but it must also be part of the solution. That’s why House Bill 2977, 1% for Wildlife, is so important." Read more at: bendbulletin.com/2025/06/01/g...

We visited the Little Lava fire footprint to see how forests that were commercially logged fared compared to mostly unlogged forests. 👀 previously logged forests still burned at high-severity and, in some cases, burned much hotter than adjacent, unlogged stands oregonwild.org/little-lava-...

This week, Republicans on the Natural Resources committee quietly pushed through a last-minute amendment to sell off thousands of acres of your public lands. While the amendment was pushed through, Oregon's own @repdexteror.bsky.social stood up for our public lands. oregonwild.org/congress-lau...

Urge the Oregon legislature to support long-term, dedicated funding to recover species and habitats!! Sign the petition (oregonwild.org/stop-extinct...) or call your legislatures today! Public hearing at state capitol tomorrow, May 8th @ 3pm. @oregonwild.bsky.social #HB2977 #oregon #wildlife

Our Roman Empire? Wondering what the Coast Range looked like before Old Growth Forests were replaced with monoculture plantations.

Members of congress aren’t just trying to sell off public lands, they’re working to mandate it in the middle of the night. westernpriorities.org/2025/05/stat...

Happy to see our Congresswoman Dexter stand up for our public lands!!

Clean drinking water = good beer. Oregon's rivers, and their endless recreation opportunities, and Oregon's beer are two of the big things that draw people to our state. Just another reason we need @wyden.senate.gov 's River Democracy Act now more than ever newschoolbeer.com/home/2025/4/...
