Locally-led land conservation and stewardship

Working to enhance the resilience of forests and communities through stewardship, collaboration, and innovation.

Ecosystem Restoration

Our stewardship helps forests and watersheds of the Mt. Adams region support a diversity of (human and non-human) life and build resiliency to threats of wildfire, climate change, insects, and disease.
All-Lands Collaboration

We foster connections between agencies, local organizations, and private citizens, knowing that we must all take ownership for the care of our land and resources. We work together to achieve collective goals.
Rural Development

We support local communities in honoring and celebrating their rural character while building resilience amid environmental, economic, and social changes.
Stewardship Economies

We’re building a new economy focused on ecological stewardship and based in the capacity and knowledge that already exists within rural communities.
Place-Based Learning

Our programs help community members of all ages build knowledge about and connections with their surrounding landscapes.
