Threats to Oregon Coastal Rainforest
What We’re Doing Daily
To make the greatest impact in the wild, we focus our work on three key areas.
Working with Oregon Leaders
Legislators and state agencies must implement a strong conservation plan for state lands in Oregon's Coastal Rainforest.
Rallying North Coast Residents
Oregonians are standing tall for state forest protections. And they’re speaking up by the thousands.
Protecting Wild Fish
Six world-class salmon rivers run through North Coast rainforests, supporting extraordinary runs of wild fall Chinook, winter steelhead, and more.
The Impact at Home
Protecting wild salmon in coastal rainforests affects the entire community.
A Thriving Economy
The Oregon North Coast supports a $550 million recreation economy and more than 10,500 jobs.
Clean Drinking Water
500,000 Oregonians rely on clean drinking water from coastal rivers like the Tillamook.
A Refuge for Everyone
Oregon's Coastal Rainforest sustains endangered fish and wildlife, and serves as a wild haven for generations of Oregonians.
