Please thank Senators Wyden and Merkley for protecting wild places today! The U.S. Congress passed the Natural Resources Management Act, including the Oregon Wildlands Act , and the reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. KS Wild and community allies have worked for over ten years to secure southwest Oregon protections in this bill.

The Upper Applegate Watershed Project, located near Ruch, OR., holds promise as a blueprint to restore forests and streams, protect communities from wildfire, and prepare our landscapes for climate change. Please take action.

Trump's Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke visited the site of the Carr Fire in northern California that devastated homes in Redding. His proposal for wildfires: give the timber industry control of our forests.

In the coming days and weeks, you're going to be hearing a lot about "salvage" logging clearcuts that are being proposed on public lands throughout the Klamath Siskiyous following last summer's fire season. One of the most outrageous of these logging proposals is the "Seiad-Horse" timber sale at Cook and Green Pass in the Siskiyou Mountains. Klamath National Forest timber planners hope to clearcut over 1,200 acres of Late-Successional Old-Growth Reserves.

Cook and Green Pass, just south of the Oregon/California border next to the Red Buttes Wilderness, is known as one of the most botanically diverse areas in the State of California. Please take a moment to express your support for the forests, watersheds, and wildlife of this Siskiyou Crest ecological gem.

We send a big thank you to everyone who spoke up against pressure from international mining interests to strip-mine our beloved rivers. That's because the U.S. Forest Service just announced it would not revisit a strip-mining ban in the Kalmiopsis region. This means that more than 100,000 acres and 100 miles of streams and rivers will stay protected!

Wolves are among the most majestic creatures in Oregon. 

We need the leadership of Governor Kate Brown to prevent these wild creatures from becoming trophies.
