Here in the Evergreen State, we see forests as a part of our collective identity. They’re where we live, play, and work, and they do so much for us. Washington’s forests are particularly good at absorbing and storing carbon and, if managed in a way that harnesses this superpower, can play a major role in our fight against the climate crisis.

WCV is committed to raising awareness about climate-smart forestry and improving how we manage working forests in our state and we want to know what you want to know.

Take 2 minutes to fill out this quick survey and tell us your questions about climate-smart forestry.

Forests provide countless things for our communities and the environment. They filter our air and water, provide vital fish and wildlife habitat, prevent landslides, and store carbon for decades.

Strategies that harness and strengthen these benefits to fight climate change are known as natural climate solutions. Help us better engage with supporters like you on natural climate solutions, by letting us know what you’re curious about.

Climate-smart forests are key to meeting Washington’s climate commitments and protecting our communities. By managing working forests in an ecologically healthy way, we can respond to the climate crisis and improve the health and safety of our state for future generations.

Thanks for all you do,
