Oregon

For many, the name Oregon inspires visions of trees. And for good reason. Old-growth forests drape this state’s mountainsides. Along the Cascade Range, from the northern border with Washington stretching to California, flows a sea of evergreen punctuated by alpine meadows and shockingly blue lakes.

That's not to say the state is all trees; some million seabirds nest by the pounding surf at the coastal Oregon Islands Wilderness, and the Badlands of central Oregon showcase a rugged landscape created by ancient lava flows.

But some of the biggest threats currently facing Oregon's designated wildlands do concern those beloved forests. Logging, road-building and development could fundamentally damage Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and other areas renowned for their beauty and biodiversity. With your help, we are dedicated to defending these lands for future generations.
