OUR NEW FORMATYou’ve already noticed that this issue of Oregon Wild is quite a bit different from years past. In the continuing evolution of a newsletter that has been around for over 30 years, we now bring you a more dynamic and engaging publication than ever before. The design was developed pro bono in collaboration with students from the Art Institute of Portland. One of the students we worked with, Ali House, put together this issue. The new design will allow us to go deeper into the issues that you care about, like global warming, endangered species, and places to hike in endangered forests. Our new format also saves paper, cuts down on waste, saves money, and saves trees. Hope you enjoy.

which threatens millions of acres of Oregon forest. Oregon still lags far behind our neighbors in the protection of its wilderness, with only 3.7% of our state protected compared to 14% in California and 11% in Washington. We face a struggling economy, loss of funding and the perception among some that an election was won, everything is going to be alright, and we can go home now. There’s a huge amount of work ahead. Today we’re developing a four year strategic plan to reflect the enormous sea-change in our administration. But the deep changes required for the survival of our planet cannot be implemented without your strong voices, hard work and continued encouragement. I’m thinking now of conservationist Nancy Russell, a tireless advocate for the Columbia Gorge, who passed in September. She enthusiastically supported protection of the

Having worked deep in the trenches during the Bush administration, Oregon Wild conservationists are now standing tall. Though we never lost hope, we lost a lot of blood, sweat and tears during the past eight years. But, because of your support and that of other allies, we staved off many of the worst threats to the Pacific Northwest. Thank you!During the last year, Oregon Wild defended our carbon-storing forests, saving 490,000 acres of old-growth and backcountry wilderness from chainsaws and bulldozers. We educated thousands about the critical importance of Pacific Northwest forests in cooling our heating planet and in providing water for humans and endangered wildlife. And we made substantial progress in the US Congress with Wilderness and Wild & Scenic River bills.It’s fitting that, with September demolition and November rains, salmon are once again

free to swim upriver through the breached Elk Creek Dam. This new reality—coupled with a new administration and a new Congress—inspires us to envi- sion a new day for conservation efforts in Oregon and across the United States.President-elect Obama was a supporter of the Roadless Rule while serving in the Senate. That rule, which Oregon Wild and supporters fought so hard to implement and defend, could be re-instated immediately. U.S. Senator-elect Jeff Merkley, who will replace Senator Gordon Smith, stated that he wants to protect old-growth forests and pristine wilderness, including the Wild Rogue.That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. We must help undo hundreds of terrible administrative rules, the old and new land mines left behind by the Bush administration. We still face the specter of the Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR)

wildest lands in the Gorge and throughout the Mount Hood National Forest. She never gave up. Today I dedicate to Nancy, and to each of you, all my efforts to pass Mount Hood Wilderness and other key bills during the last session of this Congress. And then we’ll move forward together with an ambitious plan to save Oregon and our precious planet.Imagine what we can do to heal the earth. I hope we can count on you, who have helped us through the darkest days, to help us secure critical gains during the next four years and beyond. With you by our side, we can meet the challenge!

A New Dawn for Old Growthby Jonathan Jelen

Since this year’s photography contest focused on Endangered Places, it wasn’t a big surprise that a large portion of the over 700 submissions showcased some of the last remaining old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest.By some estimates, we’ve already lost up to 90% of the old growth that we once had here in Oregon. To say that these places are endangered is an understatement.

We were blown away by this year’s outstanding photos and overwhelming participation with three times the number of submissions from last year!This year’s blue ribbons go to: Wildlands: Painted Hills by Michel Hersen Wildlife: Double-Crested Cormorant by Vince Patton Waters: Cannon Beach by Kevin Cline Endangered Places: Metolius Ponderosas by Justin Lee

Our gratitude goes to the many photographers who took our breath away with their photos, and to our sponsors who helped make this year’s contest a huge success. Get your cameras ready now for our 5th annual contest next summer.Lead Sponsor: Pro Photo Supply Other Sponsors: REI, Keen Footwear, Lensbabies, Wallowa Llamas, Educational Recreational Adventures, Common Ground Wellness Center, Newspace Center for Photography, Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center, All Star Rafting and Kayaking.

We rely on these breathtaking forests for clean drinking water, world-class recreation, critical wildlife habitat, and as a natural defense against global warming.After years of hard work and consistent public pressure, the momentum in Congress to protect the last of these precious old-growth forests has never been greater. This year, we’ve seen substantive progress as both Representative Peter DeFazio and Senator Ron Wyden have—in direct response to all of your public comments—put forth proposals to protect and restore the last of our old-growth forests. And while there’s a ways to go, we’re headed in the right direction.As we head into 2009, we face a unique opportunity to preserve

our old-growth forests for future generations. And we’ve got to be ready because these kinds of chances don’t come along too often. Here at Oregon Wild, we’ll be working with the Oregon delegation and others. We’ll be providing feedback based on our expertise in the field on what works and what doesn’t. We’ll be working with the media to highlight the need to protect these forests. And we’ll be calling upon each and every one of you to take action, to make your voice heard, and to go the extra mile to secure permanent protections for some of the most magnificent forests on earth. It’s a new dawn for old-growth forests. Will you be ready?

momentum to further reduce our Wilderness deficit over the coming years.For instance, Oregon Wild is already looking at protecting areas along the Wild Rogue River. Oregon Wild has been working for two years with a coalition of conservationists, local businesses, and outdoor retailers to protect the salmon streams and old growth in this wild corner of southern Oregon.In the coming months, we’ll also be forming the foundation for our next big Wilderness and

So, why Wilderness?Wilderness designation is the highest level of protection available for our public lands. There is no better way to protect clean drinking water, wildlife habitat, carbon-storing old-growth forests, and backcountry recreation opportunities than to designate Wilderness areas.Currently, only 3.7% of the state of Oregon is protected

as Wilderness. This imbalance must change. As this edition of Oregon Wild heads to print, we’re working to pass protections for Mount Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, Copper Salmon, and Soda Mountain in a special session of Congress. It is high time that these areas are protected once and for all. These victories will help ensure that we have the necessary

Oregon is home to some of the country’s most amazing natural treasures. The short list on this page is testament to the fact that fighting for our unique wild places pays dividends.Still, from Hells Canyon to the Siskiyous and the Metolius to Mount Hood, many of the state’s wild gems remain unprotected and threatened by logging and development.

Top 10 Places Protected by Oregon Wild



We are also turning defense to offense by pursuing permanent protection for all mature and old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest through federal legislation. The stakes could not be higher as we continue to realize the critical role old-growth protection and restoration will play in counter-ing global warming.

with a new coalition to secure Wild and Scenic designation for 22 miles of the Molalla River.Additionally, we secured support from 120 outdoor recreation businesses in our efforts to enact legislation codifying the Clinton Roadless Rule.

Old Growth Protection and RestorationIn October 2008, the Bush administration and BLM pushed forward with a scheme to clear-cut some of the last remaining old-growth forests in Oregon.Even in this hostile climate, Oregon Wild has continued to successfully defend our natural forest heritage. In the past year our timber sale monitoring program, legal action, and participation in the development of the Spotted Owl Recovery Plan staved off logging on over 490,000 acres of old-growth forests and roadless backcountry.

Oregon Wild: Keeping Oregon a Special Place in 2008

Wildlands and Wild RiversAfter over 30 years of advocacy for Wilderness and Wild & Scenic Rivers, conserving Oregon’s wild places is still at the very heart of our work. This year was no different for Oregon Wild as we spearheaded efforts to protect over 200,000 acres of Wilderness and 80 miles of new Wild & Scenic Rivers around Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge.

Throughout the year we worked with partners on several other Wilderness bills including the Copper Salmon Wilderness (legislation passed by House), Soda Mountain Wilderness (passed Senate committee), and Wild Rogue Wild & Scenic expansions (passed House subcommittee). With ultimate passage of these bills in sight, Oregon Wild is looking to the future--developing a Wilderness and Wild & Scenic Rivers conservation plan for the upper John Day, and working

important things Oregon Wild does is inspire people to care about wild places.In 2008, we took almost 1,000 individuals on hikes to threatened places across Oregon, talked to thousands more at dozens of community fairs, and reached hundreds of activists through our Wild Wednesday presentations.

Nurturing a Conservation EthicAdvocating for the protection of our public lands would not be possible without a dedicated and passionate citizenry backing us up. That is why one of the most

Healthy Rivers and WatershedsIn 2008, our work to protect healthy watersheds and clean drinking water stretched from the ancient forests of the Cascades to the wetlands of the Klamath Basin. Recognizing the important connection between intact forest ecosystems and pure water, Oregon Wild fought across the state to protect municipal watersheds from harmful logging and development. In the Klamath Basin, we continued to advocate for a balanced solution to the region’s stressed water supply.We’ve worked to stave off a plan that would guarantee future water shortages for endangered

salmon and continue the harmful practice of leaseland farming on National Wildlife Refuges for another 50 years.

Fish and WildlifeJuly 2008 was a momentus time for one of the most iconic animals ever to roam Oregon’s wildlands. In a span of 24 hours, wildlife officials in northeast Oregon discovered the state’s first family of gray wolves in over 50 years and a federal judge in Montana restored ESA protections for gray wolves all across the West following a court challenge by Oregon Wild and 12 other conservation groups.Our efforts to protect rare and important species extended from the far northeast corner of the state all the way to coastal rivers where salmon swam past the remains of Elk Creek Dam after it was finally demolished twenty years after an Oregon Wild lawsuit halted its construction.

Oregon Wild CelebrationEveryone was in a celebratory mood at this year’s annual benefit at Keen Headquarters in Portland’s Pearl District held on November 14th. Guests were full of optimism for the future just one week after an election filled with major victories for those who care about wild places. Wilderness champion Congressman Earl Blumenauer joined in the fun as did many longtime activists and friends of Oregon Wild.At the celebration we unveiled the Fourth Annual Outdoor Photo Contest winners (see page 4) and auctioned off fantastic photos, outdoor gear, a rafting trip, a week long stay in an Italian villa, and many more great items.

Rob spent the last year at Green Corps, traveling across the country working on critical environmental campaigns.

Wild Wednesday ExpandsOctober saw two firsts for our quarterly Wild Wednesday events. We hosted our first Wild Wednesday outside of Portland as a crowd of 50 supporters joined us at the Eugene Library for a presentation on the Klamath National Wildlife Refuges.Then, in Portland, we had our first Wild Wednesday with over 70 people in attendance. We featured Ascending the Giants
