Everyday is Earth Day for us at Oregon Wild as we work year-round to defend our public lands, advocate for our native wildlife, and stand up for our free-flowing rivers. This year, we are celebrating this special time of year by participating in Earth Day Oregon, a statewide fundraising campaign that connects nonprofits to businesses. All 70 participating nonprofits are working to advance the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Goals to make Oregon more livable, just, and sustainable. Through partnerships with local businesses who value sustainability and civic engagement, we are amplifying Earth Day to make the greatest impact for our forests, waters, and wildlife.
Our partnering businesses in this campaign each have something special and sustainable to offer from the ways they source their materials, to the values that guide their business, and to how they positively engage with their communities. Each partner has generously pledged a donation to the Oregon Wild in honor of Earth Day. We are proud to partner with and highlight these businesses who also believe in making the world a better place. Read on below to learn more about our awesome Earth Day Oregon Business Partners!
