Love This Place: 15

Oregonians love their water, wildlife and forests. And Oregon’s forest management regulations are now changing to benefit the future of rivers, salmon and other aquatic wildlife. The Private Forest Accord, a coalition representing both the timber industry and major environmental organizations, recently worked together in a historic moment to help guide the creation of new regulations for private forests. From expanded protective buffers along forested streams to improvements in forest road design and construction, the coming changes mean greater protection for Oregon’s waterways and aquatic wildlife.
