Please join us in supporting Oregon House Bill 2843, the legislative proposal to close recreational and commercial trapping of beavers on federally-managed public lands. Beavers provide important habitat restoration functions that help mitigate the damages of pesticide pollution and climate change for salmon and other endangered species. This is the first critical hurdle that must be crossed if HB 2843, and Oregon’s streams and human and wild communities, have a chance of benefiting from the many water and habitat-related benefits of beavers.

Thank you for your interest. The comment period has closed. Chlorpyrifos belongs to a nerve-agent class of pesticides called organophosphates that are associated with human health impacts. Of particular concern are neurodevelopmental harms in children and increased toxicological effects for farm workers due to frequent or prolonged exposure. It is a serious factor in the decline of endangered salmon. In the EPA's proposed interim registration review decision, the agency is proposing to allow numerous uses of chlorpyrifos to continue, thereby prolonging harmful exposure to children, farm workers, endangered species, and the environment. Tell the EPA you want chlorpyrifos banned! Read More & Take Action
