Preserving Wilderness and Watersheds With Oregon Wild
Boasting an incredible coastline, several mountain ranges, high desert, thousands of square miles of forest, one of the most iconic National Parks in the west, and the Columbia River Gorge to the north and Hell’s Canyon to the east, Oregon makes a strong case as one of the world’s great outdoor destinations. The Executive Director of Oregon Wild talks about the issues wilderness advocates face in the Beaver State, from the future of former railroad lands to the slow return of wolves.
