What made a difference in 2017? YOU.

In 2017, more than 6,500 OLCV members took action. Legislators heard your voice when you asked them to address climate change, prevent the erosion of our land use system, and protect critical habitat in our forests and streams. Thank you!

OLCV has been working for more than 40 years to protect Oregon’s environment. But we are only able to do that because of support from members like you. Together, we make a difference.

OLCV passes laws that protect Oregon’s environmental legacy, elects pro-environment candidates to office, and holds all of our elected officials accountable. This OLCV Environmental Scorecard is one of our most important accountability tools. By sharing how each legislator voted on the most important conservation bills of the 2017 session, you know how much your legislators listened to you and your neighbors, or if they listened to special interest groups and big corporate polluters.

The 2017 Bill Graveyard

We had two significant wins this session: Saving the Elliott State Forest and putting sensible restrictions on suction dredge mining. We also helped kill some disastrous bills that would have fundamentally dismantled our land use laws. Despite our victories, there were several bills important to the environment that died due to successful industry pressure on legislators. Read more in the Bill Graveyard.
