Forests & Wood Products

The Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities Partnership (HFHC) develops market connections for wood products made with a commitment to environment and community, allowing consumers to make a choice that makes a difference.

Ponderosa Forest

Northwest forests are in urgent need of restoration, a talented labor force is eager for opportunities to get back to working in the woods, and local businesses are seeking sustainably harvested wood to turn into high value products.

Sustainable Northwest brings these forces together to forge a new economy based on diverse enterprises, jobs in forest restoration, use of small diameter timber, and regional markets for sustainably produced forest products.

Sustainable Northwest Wood, Inc. is a for profit distribution business that connects wholesale customers to a wide range of interior and exterior finish goods sourced from sustainably managed forests and family owned mills in the Pacific Northwest.

Shoshone County Renewable Energy Project
Shoshone County lies on the eastern side of Idaho's northern panhandle.  The county offers an ideal location for a biopower facility fueled by woody biomass and has taken steps in recent months to pursue this outcome.

We also work on Forestry Policy by focusing on regional organizing, congressional education, and building alliances with diverse interest groups. Through collaboration, we help find common ground despite the highly polarized national debate around restoration and wildfire policy.

Sustainable Northwest serves as the national coordinator of the Community Forestry Business Alliance, a group of community forestry advocates from across the US who promote markets for wood products businesses that are locally based, environmentally and socially driven, and committed to community-based stewardship.
