The greatest threat to wolf recovery is human. There have been over 10 wolves killed in NE Oregon in the past year alone. @SecDebHaaland and @POTUS, it's time we relist N. Rockies wolves, including all of OR, as protected under the Endangered Species Act. #RelistWolvesNow

It's not yet Thanksgiving, but we're thankful for the groundswell of supporters from NE Oregon (indeed, really from NE Oregon) who have stood up to support the #RiverDemocracyAct!

Love seeing great citizen support for @RonWyden's #RiverDemocracyAct in NE Oregon! This ad ran in the Wallowa Chieftain. The bill would protect values of 6% of #WildandScenicOregon waterways including tributaries to the Snake, Imnaha, Grande Ronde, & John Day Rivers!
