Notice Anything Different?

As Bark continues to celebrate our tenth anniversary as the watchdogs for Mt. Hood National Forest, we are pleased to announce the unveiling of our new website!

Many people do not realize that our website has been created, coded and cared for by a volunteer for all these years. Gabriel Watson has once again gone above and beyond donating another magnificent website. Thank you, Gabriel!!!

For almost as long as Bark has been around, our website has been not only a reliable place to find information and resources for citizen activists to protect Mt. Hood from logging and development, but more importantly a way for our on-the-ground volunteers to be connected to each other. Before blogging, tweeting, flickring or even really, email, Bark hosted a website that allowed people to upload photos and notes from time in the forest visiting proposed timber sales. This revolutionary capacity has proven to not only outlast other updated ideas on the web, but continues to enable most of what Bark has been able to do over the years.

Our new website has allowed us to update our program work, which ultimately is reflective of the new threats and opportunities that we are facing on our public lands. We will now be able to feature information about Off-Highway Vehicle expansion and energy development. And as the tide is changing, we will now be able to share the success Bark has had in getting the Forest Service to put a priority on restoration and road removal.

We are still working out a few kinks on the new site, but we hope you will take a minute and click around to familiarize yourself. If you have feedback, appreciative and constructive, please email [email protected].
