Northwest

About Our Work

Lush evergreen forests and salmon streams mingle with thriving population centers in the Pacific Northwest. The region boasts many national parks and forests, along with major rivers that serve as economic lifelines to local communities. Our Northwest office safeguards the natural resources of the region by limiting logging in its ancient forests and restoring its iconic salmon runs. We also work to protect communities in the Northwest from pesticide exposure and air and water pollution.
