We are joining our Forest Coalition partners to advance a critical piece of climate legislation in the current session of the Oregon legislature — the Natural Climate Solutions bill (SB 530). Natural climate solutions are critical for fighting climate change and protecting our forests, farms, grasslands, and wetlands. This legislation will support simple, proven solutions for reducing the future impacts of climate change.

Planting more trees in urban areas;
Protecting and recovering drinking watersheds and wetlands;
Planting cover crops on agricultural lands;
Supporting longer logging rotations on private lands;
Protecting mature and old-growth forests on public lands; and
Protecting coastal communities from sea-level rise and storm surge.
Please help us get this bill safely over the finish line this session. Tell Representatives David Gomberg and Cyrus Javadi, and Senators Dick Anderson and Suzanne Weber how important it is to coastal residents that they act now to address climate change and its impacts on our communities.
