Elliott State Forest DRAMA! Plus, The Ongoing Fight to Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline

Coast Range Radio

Today, we have not one, but two amazing guests talking about two important and timely topics: the Dakota Access Pipeline fight, and the recent Elliot State Forest drama.
Bob Sallinger joins to walk me through the bombshell that Oregon State University just dropped on the Elliott State forest process, and why them walking away might actually be good news.
But first, we’ll hear a short excerpt of my conversation with Brenna TwoBears from the Indigenous Environmental Network about their ongoing fight to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how you can take action by submitting comments to the army corps of engineers by December 13th.
My conversation with Brenna was really fun and we covered way more ground than I could fit into this episode, so I’m releasing the extended interview as a bonus podcast. I hope you give that a listen, I think fans of this show will really appreciate the full conversation!
Speaking of our podcast feed, we have very few reviews and ratings, and it would mean a lot to me if a few more listeners gave us a rating and review.
And, last plug I promise, it would mean a lot to us at the coast range association for you to become a monthly donor at coastrange.org, or click this donate link. We are a small outfit, but we’re extremely passionate about this work, and your support is critical to our ability to be effective.

As always, my email is [e-mail].
