Bark is a grassroots organization based in Northwest Oregon that works to preserve the forests, waters and wildlife of Mt. Hood National Forest and surrounding regions.

We monitor logging and challenge destructive timber sales in the area and provide education and advocacy programs to bring attention to the vanishing legacy of our forests and wildlands.

Write to your elected officials. Politicians do listen: remember that cumulative effects work in politics, just like nature. Hand-written letters are the best, but an email or phone call will do the trick. Contact your representatives...

Join Bark on a hike to your National Forest. Explore the issues first-hand and have fun doing it.

Volunteer with Bark – it's a great way to get energized, informed and involved while meeting people who get it. Fill out our contact form and/or subscribe to our newsletter to find out about opportunities.
