We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit public service organization. All donations are tax deductible. Don't spend your tax money on war. Contribute to our work or another 501(c)(3) organization, and the IRS will refund up to 40% of your tax amount back to you. The % of the refund from your gift is the % of the tax bracket you are in. The first $50.- is 100% deducted from your taxes. That is the amount you won't pay for Bush's war on the people of Iraq and Iran or for shiny new atomic bombs for his Global War Of Terror.

Our Coastal Mountain Forests are indispensable components of Washington and Oregon's special climate. They protect the delicate springs and headwaters drawing rain from clouds and producing clouds to rain. This is one of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth dating back to the separation of the continents and the first single celled life forms. Some fossils here are among the oldest anywhere, resembling fossils found on Mars.
Once Our Coast Range was part of eastern Australia's mountains. The history of evolution occasionally reappears, washed from stream banks in winter floods. It is in all the many living things of the natural world. Timeless lessons of survival are passed on to new generations of wildlife every year as they have learned to do for many millions of years.
Scattered old-growth groves of largely hardwoods brim with life of every kind. Most 1,000 year old old-growth conifers were destroyed by the same greed that threatens these forests today. Timeless forests of inspiration, scattered old-growth Fir, Hemlock, Sitka Spruce, Big Leaf Maple and Cedar centralize valuable ecosystems of a myriad of life forms who's future existence hang in the balance.
Pacific NW wildlife are among the most vulnerable on Earth. Even the common Crawdad is one of the fastest to disappear, victim of watershed degradation, solar radiation, herbicide fertilizer polluted water, and commercial trapping.
These forests and wildlife need you to protect them from
relentless forces of destruction or they will all be gone perhaps forever after 90 million years it took them to get here. They need endangered species lawyers really bad. Our state governments are completely controlled by corporations that mean to wipe wildlife out as quickly as possible. Your activism, conservation and restoration are urgently needed!
Better access to justice
for the public must be established. Our rights are denied us. This cannot go on. If we don't fight for our rights, we will continue to helplessly watch every place of beauty be destroyed before our eyes.American Friends Service Committee
