Protecting Northwest wild lands and wildlife
“We wanted to protect not just the big trees, trails, and owls, but the entire old growth ecosystem. We wanted to protect not just the alpine gems, but the entire North Cascades ecosystem, capable of sustaining a viable grizzly bear population. We wanted to infuse new ideas of science and conservation to keep the Northwest wild, with large interconnected wild ecosystems from the Washington Coast to the BC Rockies.” –Mitch Friedman, director of Conservation Northwest on its founding as Northwest Ecosystem Alliance
