WELC is engaged in local advocacy to protect the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument from efforts by the timber industry and the Trump administration to shrink the Monument or alter its conservation management mandate.  Final success is winning the federal court cases, and winning any appeals, to ensure that the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument’s recent expansion is upheld and that the Monument’s ecological integrity remains intact.
