Take Action
Legislation to protect the Wild Rogue was introduced in Congress in 2008 and 2009, but stalled each time. However, recently, logging industry representatives (AFRC, a national timber lobby group) agreed not to oppose a 58,000-acre Wilderness bill for the area. Timber industry opposition was the biggest hurdle standing in the way of protecting the Rogue.
To put it in rafting terms, we've made it through the toughest rapid on the Rogue, Class IV Blossom Bar, and we've only got smaller rapids ahead. We need Oregon's elected leaders to grab the oars and take us the rest of the way there.
