Forest Bridges wishes to thank Roseburg, Oregon resident Bill McClendon, who is also a Friend of Forest Bridges, for his impassioned letter to the editor, which was recently published in the News-Review. In it, Mr. McClendon urges action to mitigate the growing frequency of high severity wildfires in our region and beyond. He promotes Forest Bridges and its work as part of creating durable solutions. And he urges readers to learn more about us, as well as consider becoming a Friend of Forests Bridges. We would also encourage all reading this to consider endorsing our latest initiative -- a set of legislative concepts to advance our Active Conservation Management strategies and break down barriers to the BLM and the USFS managing the O&C Lands to increase their health and fire resilience.

We also thank the News-Review for publishing Bill's letter.
