Western Oregon Wildlands Advocate Chandra LeGue knows the importance of teamwork. Since November of 2003, she’s been collaborating with conservation groups, federal land managers, and local stakeholders to promote Oregon Wild’s vision for Oregon’s public forest lands. Outreach and education are key facets of a job that includes participating in stewardship groups, leading hikes, giving presentations, and working to give the public a voice in policies that impact public lands. The Wild Rogue watershed, the McKenzie watershed, and the Coast Range are just a few of the places she’s working hard to protect.

Chandra, who works from our Eugene office, is especially proud of her work to save Oregon’s remaining old-growth forests. “These forests provide clean water and air, places for wildlife and fish, the scenic beauty that attracted me to the area, and my favorite places to hike and sit. We’ve destroyed enough of these amazing forests, and I’m very proud of our vision for restoring the forests we’ve already damaged.”

In her personal life, Chandra enjoys gardening, cooking, volunteering, and playing Frisbee.
