Public Lands Public Voices: A night of trivia, inspiration, and action for Roadless Forests

Join 350 Eugene, Cascadia Wildlands, FUSEE and Oregon Wild to learn and celebrate how roadless protections support diverse shared values and essential conservation outcomes. The event will feature trivia (with prizes!), education and speakers. We’ll also be taking collective action to stop this latest attack on our public lands. Check out roadless.org and this interactive map to to learn more about the Roadless Rule.

Becoming People of Place Book Club: Tribal Histories of the Willamette Valley, by Dr. David Lewis
2025-12-04 18:00 - 19:30, 2025-11-20 18:00 - 19:30, 2025-11-06 18:00 - 19:30 | Oregon
In honor of Native American Heritage month in November, we will be reading Tribal Histories of the Willamette Valley, by Dr. David Lewis. The book is available online for purchase or at your local library.

Book Description: “The Willamette Valley is rich with history—its riverbanks, forests, and mountains home to the tribes of Kalapuya, Chinook, Molalla, and more for thousands of years. This history has been largely unrecorded, incomplete, poorly researched, or partially told. In these stories, enriched by photographs and maps, Oregon Indigenous historian David G. Lewis combines years of researching historical documents and collecting oral stories, highlighting Native perspectives about the history of the Willamette Valley as they experienced it.” —Ooligan Press
About the Author: “David G. Lewis, PhD, is a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, a descendant of the Takelma, Chinook, Molalla, and Santiam Kalapuya peoples of western Oregon. David has engaged in research on the tribal histories of Northwest Coastal peoples, specializing in the Western Oregon Tribes. David served as the director of the Southwest Oregon Research Project Collection at the UO, and was the Culture Department manager of the Grand Ronde Tribe for 8 years. David has a PhD in anthropology from the University of Oregon (2009) and teaches full time in Anthropology and Indigenous Studies at OSU. David’s research essays about the histories of the tribes are published on the blogsite The Quartux Journal: ndnhistoryresearch.com. David lives in Salem with his wife Donna, and sons Inatye and Saghaley.” —Oregon State University, College of Liberal Arts

Defend the Roadless Rule! Comment Writing Workshop
2025-09-09 18:00 - 20:00 | Cascadia Wildlands Office: 120 Shelton Mcmurphey Blvd Suite #250, 120 Shelton McMurphey Blvd, Eugene, OR, United States
The Trump administration has officially declared its intent to eliminate the Roadless Rule, a bedrock conservation policy that protects nearly two million acres of Oregon’s public forests and nearly 60 million acres nationwide from logging, road building, and destructive development. This rule, adopted in 2001, preserves some of the last swaths of public lands as a home for wildlife, a haven for recreation, and a lasting legacy for current and future generations.
Do you have a story to share about visiting roadless areas or want to share why you value intact wildlands? Make your voice heard! Now is the time to comment on this misguided plan to rescind the popular Roadless Rule. Craft and submit your unique comment to the Forest Service before the deadline on Sept. 19th. Bonus points for also sending in a letter to your representative urging them to defend the Roadless Rule by supporting the Roadless Rule Conservation Act.
Want to learn more about the rule and tips and tricks for writing an effective comment? Join us on Sept. 9th from 6-8pm at the wheel-chair accessible Mahonia Community Room (120 Shelton McMurphey Blvd Suite 230). We will have light refreshments and pizza, and feel free to bring something to share, but don’t forget your laptop. There is one computer available to use if you don’t have one. RSVP here,and thank you!
