Coast Range Radio
At Coast Range Radio, we interview folks who work to build just communities that provide for people and the natural world. We are particularly interested in the connections between Oregon’s forests, social justice, and the climate crisis.
Coast Range Radio is a radio show and podcast from the nonprofit conservation organization, the Coast Range Association. Located in Western Oregon, the Coast Range Association works to build just and sustainable communities that provide for people and the natural world. Our work focuses on the connections between Oregon’s forests, communities, and the climate crisis.

Now is the Time to Take Action on the Northwest Forest Plan, with Grace Brahler (NWFP series, part 3)
This episode is part three of our deep dive into the Forest Service’s proposal to amend the Northwest Forest Plan, which covers 24 million acres over 17 nation forests spread across Oregon, Washington, and Northern California.
As I've said before, it is one of the primary reasons we have any intact or recovering forests left in the Pacific Northwest. So, kind of a big deal…
What we haven’t gone in depth with yet is the conservation and environmental perspective. So for a completely non-biased, totally neutral take on the good, the bad, and the “it’s complicated” of the northwest forest plan, and so much more, I’m joined by Grace Brahler, wildlands director at Cascadia Wildlands.
Before we get started, and I’m not about to ask for money, but if you appreciate Coast Range Radio, please help me grow our audience. Thank your local radio station for carrying the show, share your favorite episode with your friends, go on apple podcasts or spotify and give us a 5 star review.
All of those things really do help, and best of all, they are quick and free! And my email is michael@coastrange.org, please reach out anytime with feedback, guest ideas, or just to say hi!
(Note: this episode was produced before Trump's Executive Orders on timber production. We will talk about those in a future episode)
