Protecting Eastside Forests, Creating Rural Jobs

proecting eastside forests

For decades, Oregon timber companies and environmental groups have fought over Oregon's eastside forests. Just recently, Senator Ron Wyden negotiated a historic compromise that could end years of conflict, put Oregonians back to work, and restore the health of our forests.

Wyden's Oregon Eastside Forests Restoration, Old Growth Protection and Jobs Act brought these timber companies and environmental groups together with a common purpose: protect Oregon's natural beauty while creating much-needed jobs in forest management.

See why Senator Wyden's efforts are receiving high praise.
