Conservation non-profits Greater Hells Canyon Council (GHCC) and Oregon Wild filed suit against the United States Forest Service in 2017 to halt commercial logging in the Wild and Scenic Lostine River Canyon in northeastern Oregon.

The developer proposes to open 640+ acres to surface mining immediately adjacent to Interstate 84 east of Perry, Oregon.

I support HCPC because I am so fortunate. I was present at the Creation. I hope you’ll enjoy this true story of “How HCPC was born and How it got its name,” told in six short chapters.

At the end of May, a GHCC volunteer and I travelled down the lower Imnaha River canyon to help a threatened plant species, Macfarlane’s four-o-clock.
