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.
