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.

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.

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.
