Support Oregon Forest Stream Protections

With the era of climate change already bringing more drought, wildfire, and stress to Oregon’s forests, we ask that the Department and Board build on the success of the Accord. Please ask State leadership to continue updating protections for forested watersheds as we learn more about what is needed to ensure clean, cold water for fish and wildlife. Also, ask them to protect water for communities, an issue that was not addressed in the Accord.

Protecting Water Resources: It Starts at the Tributaries

Underground water is critical, yet it is less visible making it easy to alter or damage through earth work and development. Citizen monitoring and involvement in the local planning process is critical to protect these smaller and little noticed water resources.
