Oregonians Demand an Immediate Stop to Field Burning

“It is indisputable that field burning smoke constitutes a serious threat to public health,” said Western Environmental Law Center attorney and Campaign Co-Director Charlie Tebbutt.

The Campaign to End Field Burning today released a long list of endorsers demonstrating widespread support for a legislative ban on field burning in the Willamette Valley. To date, the Campaign has received over 100 endorsements from business associations and individual businesses, including many in the outdoor recreation industry, farming, food products and distribution, financial services, and restaurants. Additionally, the Lane County Medical Society, representing over 700 physicians, and many other Oregonians, have joined the Campaign’s call for an immediate end to field burning.
