About Sustainable Northwest

Sustainable Northwest helps people and communities restore and maintain ecological health, balance diverse interests, and promote economic opportunities. We're headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Through collaboration, we bridge rural and urban interests, encourage entrepreneurship, and build trust in sustainable natural resource management and utilization in the western U.S.

 

We believe:

  • People are an indivisible part of the ecosystems they inhabit.
  • Economic and environmental health are interdependent.
  • Communities have the energy and creativity to develop innovative, lasting solutions to complex environmental, economic, and social challenges.
  • Effective ecosystem stewardship is adaptive, place-based and founded on evolving scientific and practical knowledge.
  • Connections between rural and urban communities and collaboration between diverse interests and individuals are integral to local and regional sustainability.

“SNW’s continuing work on national policy issues, particularly through the Rural Voices for Conservation Coalition, is beginning to have measurable impacts in the community of Hayfork. We're beginning to achieve important community wildfire protection and forest restoration objectives while also providing work for local contractors and wood for value-added manufacturing."
