Oregon Wild, formerly the Oregon Natural Resources Council, is an American conservation organization based in Portland, Oregon, with offices in Eugene and Bend. The group is notable for having had a case, Marsh v. Oregon Natural Resources Council 490 U.S. 360 (1989), tried before the U.S. Supreme Court. Founded in 1974 as the Oregon Wilderness Coalition, and later renamed Oregon Natural Resources Council (ONRC), Oregon Wild claims credit for helping to bring about legislative protection for nearly 1,700,000 acres (690,000 ha) of preserved wilderness, 95,000 acres (38,000 ha) of forests in the Bull Run watershed and more than 58,000,000 acres (23,000,000 ha) of roadless areas, as well as the addition of almost 1,800 miles (2,900 km) of rivers and streams to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. To this end, they claim the ability to muster 3,000 members and over 11,000 "e-mail activists." Additionally, Oregon Wild is listed as a plaintiff in cases against the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the State of Oregon.
