Urge Legislators to Protect Farm and Forest land
All across Oregon, high-end residential and hospitality projects have driven land prices up, making it harder for family farmers, ranchers, and timberland managers to access land.
This legislative session, thanks to collective pressure from many farmland protection groups, including Central Oregon LandWatch, the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Wildfire will introduce a package of four bills to strengthen protections for Oregon’s agricultural and forest lands by closing the loopholes that have allowed luxury development on them.
Call For Permanent Funding for Safer Roadways and Connected Habitats
Mule deer are hardwired to follow their migration routes between winter and summer range. When roads bisect their ancient paths, deer are forced to cross busy roads.
In Central Oregon, hundreds of mule deer are killed on the stretch of Highway 20 between Bend and Suttle Lake each year. Oregon needs permanent state level funding to create more wildlife crossings. Send a letter to key legislators today.
