This morning’s homepage of The New York Times demonstrates the eerie trajectory we are on without proper forest management in place (and at scale).

Wildfire IS a public health crisis and proper forest management IS the solution.

We need more voices, more people, and more sectors involved in the conversation about our forests - because the health of our forests impacts us all.

Wildfire Smoke Spreads Across the Northeast as Temperatures Spike A heat dome is responsible for miserably high temperatures, and it’s also helping to push smoke from wildfires to the east.

What an awesome way to kick off Portland Pride Week at this month’s Forest Pub! 🌲🏳️‍🌈

Efemmera Gendera and Thespis D. Light of "Drag Me Outside" served up knowledge, humor, and fierce drag performances while finding new ways to bring people into conversations about forests, connection, and belonging.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and made the night so much fun!
