Defend and Restore Mt. Hood

Bark’s mission is to transform Mt. Hood National Forest into a place where natural processes prevail, where wildlife thrives and where local communities have a social, cultural, and economic investment in its restoration and preservation.

Join us for some community science this summer groundtruthing proposed timber sales and mapping beaver habitat & wetlands!

Bark defends the forests around the Clackamas River and provides free trainings, resources & tools to the community for free.

Solutions abound – we just need the courage, enthusiasm, and political will to implement change.

Contact your legislators and other key decision-makers about restoring beaver habitat to the beaver state!

Bark affirms that these are the rightful lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, and Clackamas bands of the Chinuk, Tualitin Kalapuya, Molalla, Tenino, Wasco, Wishram, Paiute, and the many other Native people who live here and who have always lived here. These Tribal Nations belong to and care for this land and we honor these Nations’ continued existence and resilience, as their sacrifices are still ongoing. We acknowledge their long-lasting and tireless work to nurture, advocate, and protect these lands in the Pacific Northwest.
