Coupled with low snowpack, the passage of H.R. 655 could cause the Dog River to run dry. This would have dire consequences for fish and wildlife, as well as farmers in the Gorge whose irrigation districts are fed by the Dog River. Call your senators and tell them to OPPOSE HR 655!

You can now call your senators via @5calls.org and tell them to OPPOSE H.R. 655, which would transfer up to 150 acres of Mt. Hood National Forest to the city of The Dalles, Oregon for water reservoir expansion as Google’s data centers water demands grow. 5calls.org/issue/mt-hoo...

“We can do a lot of guesswork as to the motivations behind [the legislation], but the reality is we need to protect our water resources. We need to protect the wildlife, and we need to protect the land for the betterment of the citizens of this country.” -Will Fett, Executive Director, Bark

For Bark, this is more than just a story about threats to fish and wildlife, though these are important. As Bark's Forest Watch Program Manager, Jordan Latter, puts it, "This is a story about power and influence over water, a human right that is foundational to the well being of all people."

Despite the city’s claims that Google played no role in this bill, Google’s data centers are increasing pressure on the city’s water supply. And despite Bentz's claim that he consulted with the Forest Service, Mt. Hood staff were not aware of the bill before Bark brought it to their attention.

We only have a few days left to stop Trump's extinction plan! The Trump admin. just proposed four new rules that would gut the #ESA and drive imperiled plants and animals closer to #extinction. The new rules aren't just reckless — they're a death sentence. Take action ➡️ bit.ly/3LZAGe6

HB 3932 proposes a beaver trapping/hunting closure in waterways deemed impaired. This means that beavers would remain and be able to improve these waterways by increasing water storage, filtering contaminants and sediment, lowering stream temps, increasing biodiversity, and so much more!
