The Oregon legislature delivered key wins for the environment
The five-week-long 2024 Oregon legislative session is over. Yet despite being a short session, the Oregon legislature delivered consequential wins for the environment.
Can you imagine a world filled with more wildlife and wild places? So can we. And we’re working together to make it happen.
Every minute, we’re losing two football fields worth of wild lands, and too many animal species face extinction. It’s up to us to turn things around. We imagine an America with more mountaintops where all we see is forests below, with more rivers that flow wild and free, more shoreline where all we hear are waves. An America with abundant wildlife, from butterflies and bees floating lazily in your backyard, to the howl of a coyote in the distance, to the breach of a whale just visible from the shore. Together, we can work toward this better future.

I want there to be a lobbying voice in Salem whose sole goal is the preservation of Oregon's environment.
