Bark Base Camp

For two decades, Bark has worked to create opportunities for people to experience the forest firsthand and to learn about the flora, fauna, rivers & meadows, as well as the threats posed by industrial logging. Bark’s boots-on-the-ground approach strengthens our advocacy and legal tactics and has helped us save countless special places across the Mt. Hood National Forest. This August, we invite you to join us again in the forest to continue this work while we celebrate your tenacity in defending & protecting Mt. Hood National forests for the last 20 years! This year at Base Camp, we will not only document the threats to the forest, but also set a course toward a better future for this ecosystem that supports us all.

Staff & volunteers will host a family-friendly group camp in a free, undeveloped site in Mt. Hood National Forest. Base Camp is open to all who wish to join for any length of time, even if just for one day. Campers support Bark’s work by volunteering to gather critical information about current and past logging projects, document potential beaver habitat, swap stories over shared meals, and much more. As we spend time together in the forest, we will build connections to environmental, social, and other place-based movements.
