Faith Briggs is a filmmaker and outdoor brands ambassador. She surfs, flyfishes and trail runs on North Coast public lands. And she has amplified the story of Oregon outdoor recreation communities and iconic Oregon brands and their connection to public lands.
Now, she’s looking at the public lands that she works and plays on in a new way. “I’ve never thought of myself as a climate activist,” she says. “But forests–including the Tillamook — can play a huge role in climate change.”
Oregon’s coastal forests, including the Tillamook Rainforest, are some of the best places on Earth to soak up greenhouse gases that are heating up the planet. They are a huge asset as we all work to combat climate change. And conserving these forests to tackle that global problem has huge benefits here at home — in the clean air and water they provide to millions of Oregonians everyday.
“Protecting the Tillamook is about creating the future we want,” says Briggs.
