Call to Action!

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#444444″ thickness=”3″][vc_column_text]

We are continuing to oppose threats to bedrock federal environmental protections including bills, riders, and administrative rule changes. Riders on bills could weaken protections for endangered species and roadless areas, and allow harmful logging with little environmental review. One rider on the Senate Interior Appropriations bill threatens nearly one-quarter of all roadless areas in the United States by exempting Alaska from the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects roadless national forests from logging and road-building. This rider on the appropriations bill is an attack on all national forest roadless areas because state-by-state exemptions would erode the Roadless Rule. Call your senators and urge them to oppose any attacks on the Roadless Rule and other important environmental protections.

With the New Year, Comes a New Project for CFC! 

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#444444″ thickness=”3″][vc_column_text]

Beavers have a bit of a reputation as being nuisances for landowners. But to us, they are self-adapting ecosystem engineers! For that reason, we are beginning a project with Cowlitz Indian Tribe to reintroduce more beavers into the aquatic ecosystems of Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

Planned Giving: Leaving a Legacy for our Forests

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#444444″ thickness=”3″][vc_column_text]At Cascade Forest Conservancy we rely on our members and friends to support our work.  Your support helps us bring youth and adult volunteers on stewardship trips, prepare our lands for the impacts of climate change, and conserve important natural resources and wildlife.
For those who want to leave a real legacy on our organization for years to come, making a bequest or other planned gift is a great idea.  CFC can accept most kinds of planned gifts, and the best thing to do is to talk to a member of our staff, like Development Manager Michal Orczyk (michal@cascadeforest.org). By writing our organization into your will or making a bequest, you will be remembered as a champion of public lands in the Pacific Northwest. If you have any questions, reach out to us, or take a look at this online guide: https://www.donorsearch.net/planned-gifts-complete-guide/. CFC is developing a program to acknowledge and recognize planned gifts, which we plan to launch in 2018.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#444444″ thickness=”3″][vc_column_text]
