On Thursday, May 26th NW Natural will hold its annual Shareholders Meeting where the company will inform investors of its plans to resurrect the Palomar Pipeline through Mt. Hood National Forest. In March, Palomar withdrew its application to construct the 220-mile pipeline through Oregon, but NW Natural is scheming to bring the project back as early as next year.

Let’s send NW Natural the message that we will never allow this pipeline to go through Mt. Hood! We will have in-person and on-line actions all day on the 26th so mark your calendars and be ready to send your message to NW Natural! Contact Olivia at olivia@bark-out.org to plug in to our in-person activities for our Day of Action and get ready to take a stand for Mt. Hood on Thursday, May 26th!

Surprised to hear that NW Natural is still harboring plans to clearcut Mt. Hood National Forest? You can find out more about their plans by clicking here.

Congratulations! Today the Palomar Pipeline withdrew its application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, siting a lack of need for additional natural gas infrastructure in Oregon. This is a huge victory and has come as a result of the grassroots organizing and activism tenaciously opposing this proposal for the past 4 years. As more information is gathered and news stories are published we will keep you posted with updates. In the meantime, we hope you will celebrate an incredible victory that was hard won and well deserved. Three cheers to protecting Mt. Hood National Forest, Oregon communities and our clean energy future!!!

For the third year in a row, NW Natural and it’s LNG company cohorts are pushing a bill through the Oregon State Legislature that would allow pipeline companies to obtain permits on private land without the landowner’s permission. We’ve stopped this bill in the past and we need to do it again to ensure that NW Natural doesn’t get a leg up from the Oregon Legislature at the expense of our forests, farms and fisheries. If the LNG Fast Track Bill passes, the Palomar Pipeline and the two remaining LNG terminals proposed in Oregon would be years ahead of their current delayed schedules. Contact your Oregon State Senator today to urge a NO vote on the LNG Fast Track Bill!
