Why Sustainable Northwest?
“What Sustainable Northwest has achieved is no less important than what Rachel Carson and other seminal conservation leaders did when they catalyzed major paradigm shifting movements in this country.” —Mary Wagner, Associate Chief of the US Forest Service
Sustainable Northwest finds solutions by listening, learning, building trust, and investing in the long- term success of the communities and region we serve. Our work results in restored ecosystems, living wage jobs, and better relationships among diverse groups of people.
