The McKenzie river watershed is an incredible place. Driving east from Eugene the panorama is littered with ravaged land, tree farms of now low-grade high intensity Douglas Fir stands. It takes another half an hour to get to intact forest. The Goose and the area around HJ Andrews Experimental Forest are important reminders of what once was before humans decided that the entierty of the Earth were to be managed. It's mature & wild. Dank and absolutely magical. 

CFD & other Earth Defenders devote their lives to defend the streams, salmon and salamanders, and to give them a voice. When the antiquated FS sees a forest as 'a stand of trees' mere board feet, harvests and profits.

This is about the common cause for all life. That water and Earths systems are sacred. And have a right to exist untrammeled by human industrial activities.

When so much is being lost each summer by fires. it morally irresponsible to allow rampant deforestation all winter.

Protect public lands. 

For the wild <3
