Save the Wild Rogue

Southwest Oregon's Rogue River flows through one of the most spectacular and biologically unique wildlands in the United States.  Right now, only part of the lower Rogue's watershed is protected, leaving a large adjacent roadless area open to commercial logging, mining, and road-building.  With each timber sale and new road built, the roadless area shrinks in size, the valuable wildlife habitat is degraded, and recreational opportunities are lost. Now is the time to protect these roadless areas and free-flowing streams for this and future generations by expanding the incredible Wild Rogue Wilderness Area.

Read John Kitzhaber's and Bill Bradbury's 1/23/2010 Oregonian editorial "Going Rogue in a Meaningful Way."
