Our 2020 Goal
300,000 acres of forest will be permanently protected and six million acres will be managed to endure through forest partnerships that support local economies, promote a full diversity of wildlife, and provide inspiring places for people to live, work and play.
Year Two Highlights
450,000 Forest Acres Restored or in the Queue
for on-the-ground work by The Nature Conservancy and its forest management partners on the eastern slopes of the Cascades Mountains.
7,000 Acres transferred
from the Hoh River Trust, part of a 10-year effort to preserve the remaining wild and undammed rivers of the Olympic Rainforest.
36,750 Trees Planted
on Conservancy-owned restoration sites — from areas catastrophically burned in recent years to the mossy Hoh River valley.
“Over the past year, the Conservancy expanded collaboration with communities sustained by the nature around them. On the Olympic coast, our staff worked with town and tribal leaders to plan forest restoration and management that will benefit local residents. We opened a new office in Cle Elum, and we moved into a new space in Wenatchee—both so we can better interact with the community. Our ongoing engagement is creating widespread commitment to long-term forest health.”
