Defend & Restore Mt. Hood
Bark is the only nonprofit focused on the ceded lands now known as Mt. Hood National Forest.
We use volunteer power and legal tools to monitor, document, and influence logging and restoration activities in Mt. Hood National Forest. Since 1999, Bark has saved tens of thousands of acres from destructive logging projects that would have harmed Mt. Hood's forests and watersheds.
