Food

We will be serving pizza and cookies at the event.

You can also purchase beer, seltzer, or kombucha.

Coffee & tea will be available by donation.

Don’t forget to bring your reusable water bottle for water fill-ups!

Take action

Help protect Oregon’s remaining old-growth by telling President Biden our mature forests are the old-growth of the future!

The policy proposals that the USFS and Bureau of Land Management are working on are a step in the right direction, but they are leaving an essential natural climate solution off of the table—meaningful mature forest protections. Mature forests are the old-growth of the future. We must protect them so that they can stand tall to protect future generations.
