Forest Web Forest Web was a 501c3 non-profit, all-volunteer grassroots environmental organization based in Cottage Grove, Oregon until 2024.

We advocated for healthy forests, watersheds and wildlife. Continuing this effort, volunteers still run the page and group. Forest Web was founded in 2007 by a local group of conservation advocates in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Our original purpose was to oppose the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR) on behalf of the old-growth forests on BLM lands in Lane County. We obtained our 501c3 status in 2020. Today, Forest Web continues to be a grassroots organization engaged in the preservation not only of local stands, but of all old-growth forests throughout the Pacific Northwest. "Forests precede civilizations and deserts follow them..." This simple quotation lives at the heart of Forest Web. If we want to change this sad truth, we need to change the concepts of how we relate to the natural world on which all of us depend. Is a forest merely a source of timber resources to exploit? Should the true value of a forest only be calculated in board feet? Can we reclaim the words manage and sustainable so they refer to how to preserve a healthy forest rather than how to run a productive tree farm?

"...The United Kingdom’s House of Lords is considering a bill that proposes to ban trophy-hunting imports into the country. The bill passed its second reading on June 16, after having passed through the House of Commons. It will now go to the committee stage of the Upper House (Lords), which is expected to rule in favor of its passing, if perhaps in amended form.

Meanwhile the global industry that feels threatened by the bill has pushed its propaganda machinery into overdrive.

Its carefully scripted narrative goes something like this: We all hate the idea of African wildlife being killed, dismembered and reassembled into a trophy for someone’s wall as a reminder of some conquest that was cruel and hardly sport in any meaningful sense of that word. But we must live with this necessary evil, because, counterintuitively, trophy hunting is killing to conserve...."

As the United Kingdom proposes to ban trophy imports, hunting proponents ramp up their efforts to dismiss their critics.
