Due to the breakdown of funding talks for the planting of a border wall along the southern border, the Cascadia Department of Bioregion is forced to declare a bioregional declaration of emergency - effective immediately. Talks have stalled after Cascadian local governments have failed to fund our request for $6 billion to plant a wall of more than 30 million trees, restore streams and rivers along Cascadia's southern stretches. This tree wall is critical, and must be planted immediately, and will only take 60-500 years to mature effectively.
