Our contribution to Mt Hood National Forest

Hi, my name is David and I have been volunteering as bookkeeper since 2007. I have always been impressed by the way Bark staff and board make efficient use of the funding they receive and by their handling of finances.

The result is protections for Mt. Hood National Forest.

This is why I have volunteered my time for nearly six years, and why I hope that you will support Bark with a tax-deductible contribution.


Hello! My name is Michael. Last year I helped a friend, a long-time Bark volunteer and Forest Watch Committee member, monitor the impact of logging on snags in Mt. Hood National Forest. The survey we did was above and beyond the data that the Forest Service had, and has been used by Bark to protect wildlife habitat. So when Bark formalized a monitoring program for “Best Management Practices” this year, I was thrilled to be a part of it.

I have since spent over 75 hours in the forest, helping Bark collect data that will lead to more protections not just for wildlife, but also for clean drinking water. I am now one of the project leaders in the BMP monitoring project and am using the results for my senior capstone at Portland State University.

I am proud to be helping Mt. Hood National Forest with my time and knowledge. By making a contribution to Bark today, you can also help protect our forest! You can count on Bark's tenacious strategies and uncompromising vision to result in victories for Mt. Hood.

Thank you from both of us. And Happy Holidays,
David and Michael
