This training aims to connect aspiring leaders with mentors and to teach you some basics of community organizing such as (event planning and social media tips). Join us to learn more about which tools we use to organize here in Portland and win in our efforts to protect Mt. Hood forests. Our success lies in using a variety of essential tools including legal action, political activism, cultural education, and community organizing to stop a destructive project or advocate for clean water and healthy ecosystems on public lands.
Bark has spent 15 years honing these tactics, which are all the more effective when there are more people out there taking a stand! This training will outline the tools we use, how they work together, and discuss evolving organizing tactics. The workshop will be led by Courtney Rae, Bark's Associate Director. Courtney has been working on environmental, political and social campaigns for 10 years.
Suggested Pre-requisite: Intro to Forest Law + Policy, Volunteer Orientation or previous experience volunteering for Bark. All are welcome.
This event is part of Bark's Rad◦i◦cle Training Program which empowers individuals to learn valuable skills in forest ecology, public lands advocacy and community organizing.
What is Rad◦i◦cle?
Rad◦i◦cle {the first root of a seedling to emerge during germination} is Bark’s free training program that empowers individuals to learn valuable skills in forest ecology, public lands advocacy, and community organizing. Since 1999, Bark has provided opportunities for the public to be active in decisions affecting our public lands, from boots-on-the-ground training in groundtruthing proposed timber sales to understanding the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) processes and generating public comments on Forest Service actions. Rad◦i◦cle is an expansion of established Bark trainings and is designed to present the diverse skill set and tools necessary for digging deeper into forest defense; to protect Mt. Hood National Forest and beyond.
As we plan our set of activities to honor Bark's 20th anniversary, we would love to include your Bark story! Have pictures from the past two decades? A special spot that you groundtruthed? Were you there when.....? Here's a handy form where you can let us know what we should know about your experiences with us over the years.
