The Rogue River Flows Through:

The BLM’s latest proposal would return us to the days of clear cut logging, and by prioritizing timber volume over watershed protection, public land managers are putting the values we cherish — clean water for drinking and recreation, native fish, and biodiversity — at risk.

Threat: Logging, mining, and road building that will increase wildfire risk

The Rogue River is a beloved destination for anglers, hunters, and boaters, an engine for the local economy, and vital habitat for salmon and wildlife. But this wild treasure is threatened by logging and mining, which would pollute tributary streams, destroy wildlife habitat, and increase wildfire risk. The U.S. Department of Agriculture must uphold existing protections under the Roadless Rule that help prevent harmful logging, mining, and road building so that the Rogue remains protected for today’s communities and future generations.

No Rollbacks – Protect the Rogue

Congress must stand up and support keeping existing protections for Roadless Areas and ensure the proposed process by the USDA includes robust public engagement and full transparency.
