Eco Advocates NW remains one of the strongest voices encouraging that an ecosystem-based approach to forest protection be adopted in proposed legislation by Senator Wyden and Congressman DeFazio that would truly protect and preserve the wild lands and waters of Cascadia for future generations.
Eco Advocates NW was at the forefront of organizing the public to defeat Senator Smith's disastrous post-fire "salvage" logging bill, the deceptively-named "Forests for Future Generations Act," which would've sped through clearcut logging after the natural, regenerative disturbances of wildfire, insects and windstorms.
