Rogue River
Threat: Logging, mining, and road building that will increase wildfire risk
Take ActionThe Rogue River Flows Through:
The iconic Rogue River is one of America’s great wild rivers, but unfortunately, its clean water and fish and wildlife habitat are under threat by the removal of existing protections under the Roadless Rule. We must unite and conserve the natural and economic lifeblood of the local communities and businesses in Southwest Oregon that depend on a healthy Rogue River.

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.
