Cascades Conservation Partnership

Description

This three year campaign is an effort that will protect most of the remaining old growth forests left on private land in this region. Much of this old growth is threatened with logging within the next one to three years. These forests are critical habitat to wildlife. Our effort will simultaneously protect 26 miles of river, 15 lakes, and over 45 miles of trails. The campaign will raise $25 million in private funds to persuade the federal government to contribute at least $100 million from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
