Oregon Wild 2016 ANNUAL REPORT FOLD-OUT MAP OF OREGON’S PUBLIC LANDS INSIDE n fscal year 2015-2016 Oregon Wild entered the fnal year of our four-year strategic plan. IAlong the way we have achieved numerous successes and have a lot to be proud of in defending and protecting Oregon’s special places.

As 2016 got underway, a team of Oregon Wild board and staf took on the task of developing our new plan. After dozens of conversations, a deep dive analysis on our theory of change, and feedback from the entire team, we fnalized a new four-year plan after the November election. We are excited to have delineated aspirational long term goals alongside concrete objectives for the coming four years.

We know that our work to protect our wildlands, wildlife, and waters for future generations is as important as it has ever been. We also realize that we face daunting challenges ahead and must adapt our approach to respond to the threats we are sure to face.

We are fortunate to be in a strong fnancial position, with revenue topping one million dollars for the third straight year. With this fnancial stability and a solid reserve, we have expanded our staf to deepen our impact.

Our work to protect wilderness, safeguard native species like wolves, and conserve the last of our ancient forests is resonating with the public. Te past two fscal years have seen the largest increases in new Oregon Wild members in over a decade and we expect that trend to continue.

While many of our eforts are built for the long haul, we made marked progress in several campaigns and celebrated clear victories in other eforts over the past year. You can read more about our accomplishments in this report.

Now is not the time to shrink from challenges and, with your unwavering support, you can bet that Oregon Wild will be there every day to fght for your values.

For the wild,

Sean Stevens Vik Anantha Executive Director Board President

1 Bureau of Land Management Over 2.5 million acres of forest 5 spread across western Oregon are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. These low- elevaton forests spreading from the foothills of the Coast Range to the western edge of the Cascades are vital corridors for numerous species, including imperiled spoted owls and marbled murrelets.

6 2 State Lands From desert gems to riverside parks to grand coastal forests, Oregon’s state lands are places of beauty but also places of exploitaton. In 2016, Oregon Wild and our partners batled for the very survival of the Elliot State Forest and whether it would contnue to be owned 1 by all Oregonians or sold of to 7 private logging interests.

2 3 Natonal Parks Oregon’s only Natonal Park, Crater Lake is an icon for the state. It’s mesmerizing, awe-inspiring, and under- protected. Our proposal to protect 500,000 acres in and around Crater Lake Natonal Park would protect core habitat and vital wildlife corridors for species forced to migrate as 3 the climate changes.

4 Natonal Wildlife Refuges Refuges are critcal respites for wildlife where vital habitat is protected. Though some were protected over 100 years ago, they ofen stll need our advocacy. From defending against right-wing extremists at Malheur to 4 ensuring water for wetlands in the Klamath, Oregon Wild stands up for refuges across the state.
