Fight the Pickett West Timber Sale!
Fight the Pickett West Timber Sale!

Pickett West is not a light-touch restoration-thinning project. Rather it is an old-school timber grab that will harm wildlife and watersheds. Native forests on public lands will have canopy cover reduced to 30% with no protections for old-growth forests and large fire-resilient trees. Worse still, while the BLM is still taking public comments, it is already marking old-growth trees to sell to the highest bidder.

Wolves Belong Here

Last year, Oregon wolf recovery appeared to stall. Now the state of Oregon is trying to weaken protections for wolves. We cannot return to the days of shooting wolves on sight or hunting them for the thrill.

Pacific Fisher Is One Cool Critter
Pacific Fisher Is One Cool Critter

The fisher plays a key role in regulating the populations of its prey species, many of which can become destructive if left unchecked. Most notably, it is a specialized predator of porcupines, which it kills by flipping over to expose the non-quilled belly.
