Northwest

“The Loomis campaign was the first big donation I ever made — I was motivated by the audacity and reach. For 27 years I have continued to make my largest donations to CNW, as their strategic leadership endures to have a profound impact. Being a part of such a historic success gave me hope, which continues to today.”

“The impact of my donations to the Cascades Partnership looks massive as time goes by. The leadership and effectiveness that CNW showed in that campaign was remarkable. And that continues today.”

“Wildlife — from black bears, cougars, and wolverines to pikas and western toads — once divided by asphalt and isolation, now move freely between the North and South Cascades. This was made possible by Conservation Northwest’s bold work to protect habitat and to support WSDOT and the U.S. Forest Service in building life-saving wildlife crossings. A lasting triumph for wildlife for generations to come.”

“Oyster Dome, Samish Overlook, and the rest of the Blanchard Core are unique and beloved assets. I’m proud to say Washingtonians will be able to enjoy the beauty of these public lands forever.”

“One of my proudest accomplishments in a career of wildlife conservation was leading the restoration of fishers to parts of Washington. Without the leadership of Dave Werntz and the incredible support of CNW, it never would have happened.”

“On behalf of the Colville Tribes, I am excited to have 9,243 acres of the homelands of the Okanogan people returned to the Tribes’ ownership. We are grateful to the Figlenski family and Conservation Northwest in making this possible. The importance of the protection of wildlife corridors from the Cascades to the Rockies cannot be forgotten and we as a tribe are honored to be a part of this important work of wildlife protection.”

“All the work of Conservation NW is fantastic. But this initiative was so special in its historic nature, the relationships with the Tribe and the rancher family, and how it provided the final link in a grand corridor.”

“The CNW v Commissioner of Public Lands case is a game changer for a new and more conservation friendly era of state forest stewardship. CNW showed patience and diligence for over twenty years to finally win this critical case.”
