Give a dam! Support our beaver work

Bark's beaver program focuses on increasing beaver habitat in Mt. Hood National Forest to protect this keystone species and build climate resilience. Help us help these climate allies return to Mt. Hood.

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.
