to conserve community, quiet recreation,
water quality, fish, and wildlife.
Since 1984.
What We Work For
- To conserve the Peace and Quiet essential to public health and the health of our native ecosystems.
- To secure a sustainable timber sale program on public lands that also truly sustains water quality, fish and wildlife.
- To pursue these goals through public education and public involvement whenever possible, and through administrative appeals and litigation when necessary.
