Forests are among the largest stores of living carbon on the planet, and it turns out that the forests of western Oregon have a higher carbon density than almost any other forest type in the world. Unfortunately, the destruction and mismanagement of these forests over the past century has transferred massive amounts of stored carbon to the atmosphere, which has contributed significantly to the warming of the planet.

Come join our Forest Defense team, who aims to protect and improve our forests using people power!

To join the meeting give Brenna (one of the team co-leads) an email at brenna@350pdx.org and she’ll send you the details.

No experience necessary, we’ll catch you up!
