ForestWatch Program

ForestWatch monitors and influences public land management across seven forest districts and two federal agencies. It is at the heart of KS Wild's mission defending the wildlands and wildlife of the Klamath-Siskiyou.

For 23 years, KS Wild has been a voice for the wildlands, wildlife and watersheds found on over 8 million acres of public lands. We strive to protect and restore forests and watersheds that stretch from Eastern Oregon to the Coast and down through Northern California. Anytime the Forest Service proposes a project that will impact public lands the Rogue River or Klamath Watersheds we make sure that we know what the agency is doing and we work hard to encourage actions that will restore watersheds and ecosystems while standing steadfast against proposals that will harm our forests.

Here the first questions we ask when taking a look at federal land management proposals:

  • Does the project impact wildlands that serve as wildlife or botanical hotspots?

  • Will aquatic values like clean water or imperiled fish habitat be impacted?

  • Does the project increase the resiliency of nearby communities and encourage a sustainable relationship with public lands?

  • Will the project harm threatened or at-risk wildlife species?
