Join us this February for a hike to explore low elevation BLM forests with volunteer Jos Vaught. Jos will bring his wilderness skills with him on this hike to show how they relate to monitoring timber sales. From not getting lost in the forest to trail side snacks we will explore these forests and their importance for landscape health. More... MAR

On our March hike we will explore how federal agencies are moving away from recreation and towards increased logging on public lands. We will spend the day within the Annie's Cabin timber sale, which is logging over a popular trail within the Molalla River Recreation Corridor. Concurrent with this we are seeing Mt Hood National Forest privatizing their campgrounds that don’t earn enough money will losing millions on logging public lands each year. More... APR

Since the beginning, Bark has offered free, monthly hikes to Mt. Hood National Forest and other surrounding public lands. We believe that by witnessing the breathtaking Cascade ecosystem and learning about the many threats facing it, we can build stronger advocates for the protection of our public lands. Our hike leaders are passionate, knowledgeable volunteers who incorporate information about forest ecology and policy with how to get involved in our efforts!
Carpools will meet at the Hollywood Trader Joe's, 4121 NE Halsey in Portland at 9am sharp. More... APR
