Issue Position: Forest Resilience

Issue Position

The memory of last summer's smoke choking our valley and damaging our local businesses, wineries, and tourism industry still lingers.

Oregonians have always been proud of our clean air and beautiful landscapes. Instead of fighting to preserve what makes our state unique, we've heard we can only sit back and "let it burn." However, a more effective solution is to eliminate excess fuel by responsibly and sustainably harvesting timber. We can implement better forest management practices rather than wasting our natural resources and damaging the health of our citizens and our land.
