Big win for the Tututni Estuary! Working alongside our clients, the Northwest American Indian Coalition, and Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, we challenged a proposed RV Park from being built in the Tututni Estuary in Curry County, Oregon.

The proposed RV Park development would have brought roads, buildings, and heavy use into a protected coastal shoreline that provides important wildlife habitat and holds deep cultural significance for Indigenous communities. The site has been used as a place of ceremony, food systems, travel routes, cultural and ecological abundance for the Tututni people and neighboring Tribes since time immemorial.

We challenged the project at the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, and earlier this month they issued a decision ruling the RV Park unlawful. Thanks to the deep commitment of our clients who do the hard, steady work of defending the places they love, Crag helped stop an unlawful development before construction could move forward.

This is a huge win for cultural preservation, environmental protection, and the communities that cherish this special place.

Big gratitude to our partners Cascadia Wildlands, Oregon Wild, and Umpqua Watersheds, and to all the community members who tirelessly worked to protect those forests. Stay loud and stay out there folks! Our work matters!!

Protecting endangered species isn’t just for one day, it’s something we fight for every day. 💚

On this Endangered Species Day, we are happy to announce that late yesterday the US District Court ruled the 3,200-acre Blue and Gold timber sale on Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-administered land west of Yoncalla violated a suite of bedrock environmental laws and halted any further logging.

Central to the claims in the case were declarations by former federal biologists stating that the BLM intentionally misrepresented the age of the forests to facilitate the illegal logging of this old-growth forest. Additionally, documentation efforts in the field by plaintiff organizations and key volunteers confirmed that BLM planned to log forests much older than what it disclosed.

This news marks a major win not only for Oregon’s old-growth forests and endangered species, like the marbled murrelet and northern spotted owl, but also for the conservation organizations that have vociferously opposed this stinker for more than six years.

Thank you to everyone that helped make this victory possible! Conservation organizations included Cascadia Wildlands, Oregon Wild and Umpqua Watersheds, who were represented by attorneys from Crag Law Center, Cascadia Wildlands, and Oregon Wild.

As founders, we built our brand on wandering, the way you might stumble upon a towering Douglas Fir, discover aromatic wild fennel along a trail, or watch light filter through spring leaves...

That sense of discovery, that moment of pure presence, is what Wildwood® is all about. And because we believe in protecting the trails that inspire us, we craft every batch with intention and wrap our caramels in compostable materials.

It's also why we are proud to partner with Crag Law Center for Earth Month. For 25 years, they've helped communities protect clean water, wild spaces, and the places we all depend on – using the power of the law to create real, lasting change.

Big polluters and powerful developers don’t back down easily. But neither do we.

This Earth Day, we’re celebrating the incredible wins we achieve when we work together.

With the support of people like you, we’ve:
🛤️ Helped stop a massive fracked gas pipeline in its tracks
💧 Defeated Nestlé’s attempt to bottle and sell water in the Columbia Gorge
🌲 Protected millions of acres of old-growth forest for future generations

These victories didn’t happen by chance. They happened because communities organized—and Crag amplified their work with legal power, strategy, and tenacity.

And this moment demands more of that work — not less. The best way you can support our work is to donate monthly, which helps us take on urgent cases the moment they arise and stand with communities for the long haul.

Help us power the next wave of wins by donating monthly. Every recurring gift is doubled this year - up to $25,000!
