About Us

We’re her to tell a story. A story about waves on waves of a movement. A movement that’s taken 50 years to get to this point, and a movement that’s once again taken on a new life in our small, Pacific Northwest, coastal community.

I’m here to ask questions. Are we bold enough to create a shift in this poison paradigm? Are we brave enough to wake up to the lies being propagated by the self imposed corporate elite? I know damn good and well, we won’t win this war without coming together. Let’s Create a conversation on the subject of a pristine greater watershed.

Friends of 27 years, we’re here to give voice to a myriad of perspectives on the subject of, not only Oregon’s practice of allowing the timber industry and chemical companies to poison people, plants, animals, and the entirety of Oregon’s complex watershed system, but examples of ways we can do things better. 

If All else fails, MAKE ART.
