About us
Sustainable Northwest forges community-led solutions that benefit nature, people, and local economies. We partner with communities throughout the Northwest on projects that promote smart water use, clean energy, and healthy forests, farms, and ranches. Our solutions are as unique as the problems we solve and include entrepreneurship, policy, market innovations, public and private investment, collaboration, and technical assistance – but the ultimate success of our work is based on relationships, trust, and inclusion. Sustainable Northwest was founded in 1994 to forge collaborative solutions for conserving forest and community health. Today, our challenges have multiplied with climate change, catastrophic wildfires, and persistent drought harming our region. Yet we remain optimistic that nature, people, and local economies can thrive together.

The Kahler Dry Forest Restoration Project on the Umatilla National Forest shows the incredible value of projects that offer economic, social, and environmental benefits. Sustainable Northwest was a key partner in this multi-year project to thin juniper from Eastern Oregon rangelands. Historically, low-intensity fires would have kept juniper from encroaching on rangelands. Some of the fires would have been sparked naturally, and some set by Tribes using cultural burning to steward rangeland health. Juniper are THIRSTY, so keeping them from taking over our rangelands is good for many reasons -- including water conservation in the arid West. This project also supported local timber and milling jobs, as Sustainable Northwest and Sustainable Northwest Wood Inc operate the largest juniper lumber market around. It's all about the triple bottomline: people, nature, and local economies. #West #juniper #environment

We're excited to see the growth and success of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program throughout the nation. Sustainable Northwest was one of the lead organizations helping create the CFLRP and have been proud to work with partners and Congress to secure funding and steward our public forests to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires and restore ecological health on thousands of acres.
🌿 Restoration is key! The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) focuses on forest resilience, natural fire regimes, habitat, water quality, and watershed function. Hundreds of thousands of acres are treated each year to maintain and enhance the many benefits healthy ecosystems provide, including clean water, reduced wildfire risk, and improved recreation opportunities for all. Learn more about the Collaborative Forest Restoration Program (CFLRP) by reading its 15-year Accomplishment Report. https://lnkd.in/g7BmVbW2

We are so psyched to see Anyeley Hallová, Anna Mackay and Jessy Ledesma featured in this article by The New York Times about the discrimination women face in the real estate development field. Sustainable Northwest partners with these developers on sustainable and intentional wood sourcing, but also prioritizes partnering with women- and minority-owned businesses all along the wood supply chain -- from forest to frame.

! FEATURED in the The New York Times ! - Fantastic desperately needed piece of journalism. Everything in the article deeply resonated with me. We are ALL experiencing different degrees of the same set of issues. The nerd I am was SUPER happy to finally see the stats 📊. It's so important for people to understand our reality and the need for CHANGE. Welcome to my world 🌎. --- Women own just 2.8 percent of real estate firms and occupy 9 percent of the C-suite in commercial real estate. Black and Hispanic women are in an even smaller minority, given that Black people represent just 0.4 percent of developers and Hispanic people 0.16 percent. Only 1.8 percent of real estate firms are minority-owned. --- 🔗 Female Developers Navigate Discrimination in a Male-Dominated Field by Colette Coleman >> https://lnkd.in/gd2Szpnh Meanwhile you MUST check out Anna Mackay and Jessy Ledesma and their Shortstack Housing also highlighted in the article. We have something special going on over here in Portland, Oregon. 👏🏽👏🏽 👏🏽 #women #realestatedevelopment #wakeupcall P.S. Product placement of dress by Tory Burch Foundation totally intentional 💁🏽♀️ and yes, the photo is from my hometown of South Florida 🌴. Photo by Martina Tuaty

Happy Friday! Today we are celebrating the reconnection Upper Klamath Lake to 14,000 acres of its historic wetland. It's called the Barnes Agency wetland restoration project, and it is HUGE, long in coming, with lots of partners, and greatly beneficial to salmon, sucker fish, waterfowl, and clean water -- plus the communities that depend on those resources. Woo hoo!

Sustainable Northwest is proud to have worked with four different Tribes in #Oregon and #Washington to source sustainably grown wood for the new Portland International Airport! Hear from Brenda Meade and MJ Parrish from the Coquille Indian Tribe in Oregon about the Coquille's approach to forest stewardship. #buylocal #pnw @flypdx Intertribal Timber Council @coquilleindiantribe @intertribaltimbercouncil @flypdx

Ryan Temple helps explain to the Bend Bulletin (a publication of EO Media Group) how Sustainable Northwest Wood Inc became the largest retailer of juniper wood, and why that's important for healthy western landscapes. https://lnkd.in/gtztRCgK
