Action that is timely, specific, and impactful through
Teamwork among individuals and organizations.
Our activities
CAT advances our mission with conservation projects that serve to protect natural habitats of Western Oregon. We organize grassroots campaigns. We educate our members and the public on the issues. We urge people to take action and write letters to the editor, contact decision-makers, and sign petitions.
Through the prism of climate change, we address forest practices and water quality in the Coast Range, as well as estuaries, rocky habitat and Marine Reserves in the nearshore, always with an eye to reducing threats to birds and wildlife.
We often work in association with other conservation groups that share our values.
Our priority areas
Get involved!
Share your time, skills, and interests with us. We need volunteers to track what other conservation groups are doing on our issues. You can monitor the progress of conservation-related bills when our legislature is in session. You may even want to learn how to lobby. Tell us your interests, and we will find a productive niche. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering, and thank you for your support!
