#DidYouKnow @OregonDOT records 6,000 vehicle collisions each year with deer and elk? The number is likely much higher, but thankfully a bill to #KeepOregonsWildlifeMoving is now at the Joint Ways and Means Committee in #orleg.

Please urge your elected leaders to amend SB 1537 and remove the large, expedited UGB expansions. Let’s focus on approaches that urgently and effectively tackle our housing crisis without eroding our livability, human health, & environment. centraloregonlandwatch.org/a…
