BEHIND THE EMERALD CURTAIN

Behind the Emerald Curtain exposes the harmful practices occurring on Oregon's private timberlands under the Oregon Forest Practices Act: streams logged right through with no buffers; landslides from logging on steep slopes; pesticides sprayed from helicopters, drifting into homes and clinics and poisoning forest workers. Come take a peek Behind the Emerald Curtain.

Public Comment is NOW CLOSED for Chehalis River Dam proposal. Thank you for your comments. The Washington Department of Ecology released the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement that evaluates the impacts the proposed dam will have on the environment. Public comment will be open until May 27th. You can help these fish by submitting your comments about the dam today. The Chehalis is the last watershed of its size in the Northwest where salmon and steelhead are not listed under the Endangered Species Act. This is no place for a dam. We encourage the state to relocate at-risk properties to safer ground, flood proof critical infrastructure and restore river and floodplain function in order to reduce flood risk and restore salmon habitat.
