On April 15th, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) released their annual wolf report.

Webcast: Volcanoes of the Cascades
What do Mt. Hood, the Three Sisters, and Mt. Shasta all have in common? They are all volcanoes!

Hal Wershow, Assistant Professor of Geology at Central Oregon Community College, presents a brief (and accessible) introduction to the Cascade Volcanoes.
Ochoco Mountains Coordinator Jamie Dawson also presents on Oregon Wild's efforts to protect the Cascades and the incredibly important habitat that surrounds them.
