Exploring for berries and mushrooms, listening for birdsong, and rinsing my hands in cold clear forest streams are experiences I can only get in ancient forests, where logging and most other human development aren't evident. Chandra LeGue, Oregon Wild
Grassroots climate groups like mine, 350 Eugene, understand that forest defense is climate defense, and we're fierce. Patty Hine, 350 Eugene
“As we are increasingly confronted with the twin threats of climate change and the biodiversity crisis, defending mature and old-growth forests is more important than ever. These trees provide critical habitat for wildlife, keep water clean and cold, are resilient to wildfire, and are at the core of cultural values.” Jeremy Austin, Central Oregon LandWatch
I want there to be a lobbying voice in Salem whose sole goal is the preservation of Oregon's environment. While Environment Oregon surely is outspent by corporate interests, I believe they punch above their weight because our legislators recognize that Environment Oregon represents the views of the many voters who value and wish to preserve Oregon's natural beauty. Pete Tucker, Environment Oregon member
