Oregon Wild

Mission

Oregon Wild's mission is to protect and restore Oregon's wildlands, wildlife, and waters as an enduring legacy for future generations.

Bottom Line for Portland

We work to protect the wild places that Portlanders depend on for clean drinking water, outdoor recreation, critical wildlife habitat, and defense against climate change.

Building off past victories to protect Portland’s drinking water source and 200,000+ acres of new Wilderness (the majority of which encompass Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge), we're working to advance sweeping new protections for 3,000+ miles of Oregon's rivers and are leading a national coalition to protect Oregon's mature and old-growth forests for the immense climate benefits they provide.

We actively work to protect and defend the forests across Oregon and the PNW that offer tremendous cultural value to indigenous peoples and outdoor recreation opportunities to nature enthusiasts.

Quote

“The only reason that any wild place exists today is because somebody stood up to protect it. And very often, that somebody is Oregon Wild.”

- Vik Anantha, board member & activist

Incentives

To inspire the next generation of activists and supporters, current Oregon Wild members have created a matching pool that will match donations by new Oregon Wild members dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000.

Our friends at Cup of Tea are also offering a free Tea Flight for all Oregon Wild donors of $25 or more. 

Partner(s)

Oregon Wild has partnered with the Willamette Riverkeeper to support their work to protect one of Oregon's most iconic rivers and its tributaries.

We're also honored to have KEEN Footwear as a generous business partner for this year's Give!Guide campaign!
