The issues facing Oregon’s forests are varied and complex. One of our goals is to provide information in a variety of ways. To help achieve this goal, we set up a YouTube channel to share videos on panel discussions, rallies, tree-sits, press conferences, and other events. For more videos go to our Youtube channel.
When Tree Planting Goes Wrong
Trees are a super-efficient way to sequester carbon, but since planting the wrong trees in the wrong place can do more harm than good, we need to go about tree planting more carefully.

Oldgrowth vs Second GrowthCoastal Temperate Rainforests
The coastal temperate rainforests of Cascadia are some of the most incredible ecosystems in the entire world, and they exist nowhere else, which makes them even more neat. Yet varying reports suggest that only between 1 - 5% remain today from their original extent, though no comprehensive study across the whole bioregion exists, and most folks can’t tell the difference between these ancient forests and the second growth forests around them, so I thought I’d break it down here!

Cascadia Forest Defenders - White Castle Tree Sit
Cascadia Forest Defenders began a tree-sit in the White Castle in June of 2013 to protest the planned timber harvest of one of Norm Johnson and Jerry Franklin pilot projects that are the framework for Senator Wyden's O&C Act of 2013. Members of CFD now face possible eviction and arrest, if a BLM closure notice goes into effect.
