Protect What You Love
Let’s get these numbers down — way down. Think before you strike a match, flick your cigarette, or use equipment that can cast sparks, and always have tools on hand to put a fire out. End the trend and help us all Keep Oregon Green.
Show your love for our great state and your awareness of human-caused wildfires by posting your photos.
Simply post your favorite photo(s) of Oregon’s beautiful outdoors on Instagram with #OregonOurOregon and #KeepOregonGreen and your picture could appear in our feed on this page. Show how much you care about our state by adding a tip for preventing human-caused wildfires and how we can all keep Oregon green.
Broken Top from Tumalo Mountain. Glad I hauled the zoom camera up this adventure. I hiked up Tumalo, got a few shots like this, and snowboarded down. A video on it will be out this Friday 5pm.
Oregon is AMAZING.

These trails have always been a hometown favorite so I spent my morning giving back and helping forestparkconservancypdx along with fjallraven_na clean up the invasive ivy. This surprisingly was my first trail cleanup and I will definitely do more. I think it’s so important to give back to the places we love and learn how much goes into keeping them maintained. Have you volunteered to take care of our trails before?

Sunset at Sisters and Broken Top from Newberry. My main project now is a video on Newberry Volcanic Monument. It will be a full length doc showing the area and its volcanic history. Very large project that should be done this fall.

Lighthouses of Oregon: A History of Aiding Maritime Navigation
Coquille River Lighthouse.
The smaller bay lighthouses don't get as much attention. They didn't have the same light distance as the bigger ones, as their purpose was to guide ships into the bay. Still they have their own stories and are interesting in their own way.
My free documentary on Oregon's lighthouses is available at Youtube.com/MattCookOregon
Sometimes my favorite part of the hike to a waterfall is not the waterfall itself
