Oregon Wild keeps Oregon a special place to live, work and play. We do it by getting out into the field, working with the public and convincing our elected officials to protect the place we call home. We do it so that future generations can enjoy the Oregon we love.

If you camp, hike, raft or fish in Oregon, chances are that Oregon Wild had a hand in saving the forests and rivers that surround you. We have safeguarded nearly 1.7 million acres of public lands as Wilderness; prevented clear-cutting of old-growth forests; and protected almost 1,900 miles of Oregon's rivers.

Recently, with the help of the Conservation Alliance, we gained Wilderness protections for an additional 127,000 acres of  forestland surrounding Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge.

 Currently, we're working to take care of some unfinished Wilderness business around Mount Hood, permanently protect the mesmerizing Devil's Staircase area in Oregon's Coast Range, designate the Molalla River as Wild & Scenic, and add 58,000 acres of protected Wilderness along the famed Rogue River.

Project Update

Don't miss your chance to see the Devil's Staircase in stunning photographs tonight, October 14th at 6:30pm at the EWEB training room in Eugene, OR. Join us for a stunning slideshow presentation by renowed local photographer Tim Giraudier of Headwaters Photographic chronicling a legendary excursion into the heart of the proposed Devil's Staircase Wilderness - the Oregon Coast Range's most rugged and wild area. This slideshow features images few people get to experience in person - from Wasson Lake downstream through the heart of Devil's Staircase, to its namesake waterfall, and to the confluence with the Smith River. Hosted by Oregon Wild and partners Cascadia Wildlands and Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics.
