On March first, the president issued two executive orders designed to dramatically increase commercial logging on our public lands.  These executive orders are bad news on their own, but the situation is actually even more dire.These orders are part of a decades-long effort by industry, the ultra wealthy, and radical right wing anti-government legislators to privatize our public lands and extract maximum profit for the wealthy few. And look, I know that there are a million attacks and assaults that are demanding your attention.  I'm not here to tell you that forest policy is more or less important than anything else.But we in the Pacific Northwest have way more agency and influence over our public lands than most of the other battles being waged.  And in the age of spiraling climate chaos, any intact or recovering forest that is logged is a forest that may never come back.Last week, Oregon Wild put on a fantastic webinar where they went into detail on the executive orders, federal legislation, agency sabotage, and other ways that this Republican government is working to destroy our public lands.But they didn't stop at the doom and gloom.  They talked extensively about a wide variety of actions that we can take to fight back. They were kind enough to let me air clips of that webinar for today's show.  It was too long to play in its entirety for our format, so unfortunately I wasn't able to include the sections where they talked about strategies for contacting legislators, using social media, and other tactics.  But you can watch the entire webinar here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO35KTq3CK8You can also find a really useful activism toolkit they put together at oregonwild.org/activist-toolkit/What you're going to hear today is a breakdown of what is happening at the federal level, including with these recent executive orders, and I hope you'll feel angry and inspired to take action.Show Notes:Webinar on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO35KTq3CK8Oregon Wild Activist Toolkit: https://oregonwild.org/activist-toolkit/The public lands privatization game plan: https://www.andykerr.net/kerr-public-lands-blog/2025/2/28/the-monetization-of-public-landsTrump Timber EOs:https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-expansion-of-american-timber-production/https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/addressing-the-threat-to-national-security-from-imports-of-timber-lumber/Support the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

KS Wild and Oregon Wild weigh in on logging plan north of Grants Pass

Oregon conservation groups will sue on behalf of the red tree voleLONG SYNOPSIS: Four conservation groups including Cascadia Wildlands, the Bird Alliance of Oregon, Oregon Wild and the Center for Biological Diversity, released a notice of intent to sue the US Fish & Wildlife Service in June for failing to protect the red tree vole. The red tree vole is a small, hamster-like species that's native to Oregon’s coastal old growth forests. In 2011, the federal agency determined that the animal's protection was warranted, but didn't extent it endangered or threatened status due to higher priority species. That designation was reviewed and repeated yearly until 2019 when the vole’s protection status was abruptly changed to “not warranted.” In 2022, the Center for Biological Diversity sued over this decision, which resulted in an agreement to re-assess the species’ protection status. However, in February of 2024, the protection of the red tree vole was again designated as “not warranted.” Noah Greenwald from Center for Biological Diversity joins us to share more about this multi-party lawsuit against the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

We welcome Oregon Wild Sheep Foundation Treasurer Marcus Gores to the show to discuss what is happening in their neck of the woods. Marcus stumbled upon Oregon WSF by chance and when he got bit by the sheep bug he did not look back.Marcus weaves an interesting story and shares his experiences with us. We wanted to get to know Marcus a little better, however right from the get-go, Marcus was insistent he wished to speak about wild sheep and Oregon WSF. That said we did drag some stories out of him about his hunting expeditions.Oregon WSF is experiencing a transition as many Chapters and Affiliates are, with a new generation of conservationists getting involved. They are seeing some exciting new changes and Marcus is a big part of that team that will lead Oregon WSF into the future.Enjoy this episode of Talk is Sheep, the Official Podcast of the Wild Sheep Society of BC.

The Colorado River faces numerous challenges that threaten its health and sustainability. Drought, overuse, population growth, and climate change have significantly reduced the river's flow, impacting the water supply, and ecosystems. Overcoming these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach. It involves implementing sustainable water management practices, promoting water conservation and efficiency, restoring ecosystems and habitats, engaging in collaborative agreements among stakeholders, and raising awareness about the importance of preserving this vital water source. By addressing these challenges collectively, we can secure a more resilient future for the Colorado River and the communities that depend on it.   Flavelle, C.

Live at our new time - 5 pm it's the Boze Noze Show with your host Jay Bozievich Pressure from environmental groups like Oregon Wild has caused the US Forest Service to allow “natural caused” fires to burn instead of doing aggressive initial attack to put them out when small. The Cedar Creek fire is a perfect example and now over two months it has caused havoc for the people living near and far as today school districts and Kidsports athletic events are being cancelled in Eugene and Veneta due to hazardous air quality from Cedar Creek fire smoke. Chandra LeGue, Senior Conservation Advocate for Oregon Wild, is endorsing Dawn Lesley for the West Lane Commissioners seat. She has also contributed to Dawn's campaign. Dawn will support the “let it burn” philosophy that led to evacuations, loss of business, cancellations and health issues from the Cedar Creek fire that started in ONE TREE. Vote for reasonable forest management, vote for RYAN CENIGA! (Photo is the Cedar Creek fire on August 1, 2022)

Today's show is about a topic that is near and dear to my heart - Wild and Scenic rivers!  We in Oregon are so fortunate to have not only amazing waterways, but also a history of elected officials who have been willing to fight for them, and for public access.Without Wild and Scenic protections, many of our most special and important places in Oregon would not exist as we know them.  What most folks don't know is that only about 2% of our waterways are protected with this designation.Last year, Senator Ron Wyden introduced the River Democracy Act, which would triple the mileage of waterways in Oregon with Wild and Scenic status.  The River Democracy Act, which is co-sponsored by Senator Merkley, has drawn widespread praise from conservation groups and public land advocatesIf you're not familiar with river protection lingo, The National Wild and Scenic Rivers System was created by Congress in 1968 to preserve certain rivers with outstanding natural, cultural, and recreational values in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations. The Act is notable for safeguarding the special character of these rivers, while also recognizing the potential for their appropriate use and development. It encourages river management that crosses political boundaries and promotes public participation in developing goals for river protectionTo learn more about the bill, I'm joined today by Oregon Wild's Public Lands Campaigner, Jamie Dawson.Show Notes:Contact Your Elected Official: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officialsSenator Wyden one-pager: https://www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/River%20Democracy%20Act%20of%202021%20One%20Pager.pdfOregon Wild RDA webpage: https://oregonwild.org/riversOregon Wild factsheet: https://oregonwild.org/sites/default/files/1-Uploads/Documents/2021/River%20Democracy%20Act%202021%20Factsheet.pdfCool Short Video: https://vimeo.com/534234263Support the show

Preserving mature and old growth forests across the US is a critical piece of the puzzle in fighting climate change, and on Earth Day of this year, President Biden issued an executive order to "strengthen America's forests, boost wildfire resilience, and combat global deforestation".Great news, right?  Not so fast. To learn more about the good, the bad, and the ugly of Federal forest and climate policy, I spoke with Oregon Wild's Forest Climate Policy Coordinator, Lauren Anderson.  Lauren joined Oregon Wild in 2020 after several years in Washington, D.C. working on energy, climate and wildlife policy issues.  Among other roles, Lauren helps coordinate the Climate Forests Campaign, a coalition of environmental organizations across the country, working to protect mature and old-growth forests. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.  Let me know what you thought, send suggestions, or just say hey at michael@coastrange.org.Show Notes:Climate Forests: https://www.climate-forests.org/Worth More Standing Report: https://www.climate-forests.org/_filesx/ugd/73639b_03bdeb627485485392ac3aaf6569f609.pdfWhite House fact sheet on President Biden's Executive Order on Forests: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/04/22/fact-sheet-president-biden-signs-executive-order-to-strengthen-americas-forests-boost-wildfire-resilience-and-combat-global-deforestation/Good overview of the climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act: https://earthjustice.org/brief/2022/what-the-inflation-reduction-act-means-for-climateSupport the show

Our focus this week is on Oregon's forests- in Washington County and Statewide. Oregon is known for beautiful forests and a long history of logging those forests. We want to take a good look at those forests & all the trees! To learn what's harming the industry, what's happening to our forests and why- and given the threats to forests, what's being done to preserve forested lands. Our guest today is Sean Stevens, Executive Director of Oregon Wild, a non profit organization working to protect the Oregon Wilderness.

The last 23 months have been ferocious for so many of us. We all have that one pandemic story we will never forget. Piper from Prive Vineyards is no different. She not only bought a vineyard during COVID and, after moving onto the property, had to deal with the Oregon wildfires of 2020 less than a week after moving in. It's impressive to see Piper's resilience and mindset in how she approached the fires, her winemaking style, and life in general.

Today I’m chatting with the wise and incredibly kind Christina Suzann Nelson. Christina is an incredible author, and through connecting with her and learning about some of the story behind her most recent book,The Way it Should Be I got to hear her heart and got a glimpse of journey as an adoptive and foster parent. In honor of Foster Care Awareness Month, and because I think there is such a need for more stories like Christina and her families story to be told, she shares with us all about their journey of becoming the parents of 6 children, and seeing the Lord make Himself known in their story. Then, she shares how all of that translated into a heart that longed for hope filled stories to be written and how she began her journey as an author writing books that hold space for faith deepening, developing languages of compassion, and giving opportunities to process things in life such as addiction, broken hearts, disease, messy families, but remind us that God can and does still bring beauty from the ashes.  Christina is so kind and so warm and honest, and I just think you’re going to love hearing from her. It’s an amazing gift to believe in the possibility of life change, cultivating hearts of compassion, and watching God at work, and her stories and even our time together today, cultivate such a beautiful space to process all of those things, and more.  I know so many people that are walking through situations that we touched on today, and praying through what God would have them do next. Whether that’s caretaking, adopting, fostering, or even figuring out how to love a family member or friend who has been overtaken by addiction, or overwhelmed by the world they’re living in and you don’t know how to respond to them, The Lord is near. I do not in any way say that lightly. I have been in some of those pits, and I know the pain. This is not how the story ends and there is so much hope and even joy still to be found.  If you are interested in fostering or adopting or learning more about any of it, I’ve included some resources in the show notes for you. As with many scary things, I just want to remind you of something I heard a long time ago that always encourages me when I stare at my empty hands and seemingly impossible situations: the Lord does not call the equipped, He equips the called.

This bird isn't cool just because its wingspan rivals the length of a grizzly bar on its hind paws. Nope, this bird battled its way back from the brink of extinction - just 22 in the wild to now close to 500 in the wild and in captivity.

Jason describes problems with the Oregon Forest Practices Act (OFPA), and how it fails to protect people, fish, and wildlife from industrial forest management on corporate private lands. For instance, schools and homes have inadequate buffers from the pesticides sprayed from helicopters on clearcuts. Jason describes studies that found industrial tree plantations are a fire hazard and also contribute to summer low water flows in Oregon streams. The forest practices of adjoining states (Washington, California and Idaho) have far greater protections for fish, soils, and people. These states also have a tax on trees cut that help provide public services, while Oregon has eliminated it’s tax on corporate forest owners, causing Oregon to loose around $40 million annually. This is in spite of the fact that logs from many Oregon clearcuts are being shipped overseas, also depriving Oregon workers of mill jobs. Finally, Jason talks about efforts to reform the OFPA, and how you can stay informed. These web sites will help: http://www.clearcutoregon.com/ https://sprayfreecoast.com/ http://www.oregonwild.org/

The Oregon Brewery Running Series is about three things: Getting Active, Having Fun, and Giving Back. Our name may lead you to believe it's all about beer and running, but that's just how we accomplish it. We get people active by hosting 5K fun runs that start and end at great breweries. These are family-friendly events where people can run as fast or as slow as they want. It doesn't matter, partially because it's not timed, but also because the idea is just to get your body moving. A lot of good comes from that. The second thing, having fun, also doesn't need an explanation. Yes, our runs involved craft beer from some of the best breweries in Oregon and now Southwest Washington, but the fun doesn't simply come from what's in your pint glass. There's something inherently enjoyable about getting together with like-minded people. Runners and craft beer enthusiasts are some of the nicest folks you'll meet. The runners high is real, and we have a blast celebrating the accomplishment of finishing a 3.1 mile run by pairing good beer with great people. The third thing, giving back, is less obvious, but no less important to us. When Drew and I started this in the summer of 2016, it was important to us that we partner with non-profit organizations doing good in and for our community. We wanted to help, to give back to the great communities we live in. Currently, 10% of our proceeds go to help the work of The Oregon Brewshed Alliance through Oregon Wild, and also the Portland Parks Foundation, the fundraising arm of the incredible Portland Park and Rec department. We're proud to announce a third non-profit partner. Life Vest Inside is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that inspires, empowers and educates people of all backgrounds to lead a life of kindness. Today on the Oregon Brewery Running Series podcast, you'll get to hear my conversation with Jason Hattrick, a local volunteer for Live Vest. He's also a Kindness Ambassador and a Dance for Kindness Group Leader. We talk about the movement that is Life Vest Inside, what exactly Kindness is, why all of us need more of it in our lives, and a few tips for quickly showing the next person you see a random act of kindness. We'd love to invite you to one of our next 5K fun runs that start and end at great breweries in Oregon and now a few in Southwest Washington. November 4 we'll be at the Hopworks location in Vancouver, and next week, November 11, we'll be in Tualatin at Stickmen Brewing. Use promo code LVI5, for Life Vest Inside to save $5 on your entry.

In today's Nonprofit Hour show we'll be hearing the last installment of our interviews about the intersection of nonprofit organizations and city hall prior to the May 17th Oregon primary election. For our most recent Nonprofit Hour live show from the Waypost on Sunday, May 1st we were pleased to welcome current City Commissioner Amanda Fritz to the stage where she shared with us her thoughts about the direction Portland is moving, some areas where we can use improvement and some stories of how nonprofits have worked in partnership with city government to solve some of our pressing problems. Also at the last live show we were joined by Arran Robertson of Oregon Wild. He spoke with Phil Busse about the humble beginnings of the organization, how he came to develop a passion for protecting wild areas and the work that Oregon Wild has done to preserve natural streams, lakes, land and air which has been so vital to the protection of wildlife habitats such as for that of the famous wolf OR7. We'll be hearing that in the second half of the show but first we opened the show with music from our new house live band for the Nonprofit Hour, Irving.

The US Forest Service is nearing a decision to build a 130 mile off highway vehicle (OHV) trail in the Ochoco National Forest. The trail system is very controversial.
