New Blog! : Forest Collaborative Groups
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#444444″ thickness=”3″][vc_column_text]
In forest collaborative groups, diverse stakeholders including environmental organizations, timber companies, recreational organizations, and other interested members of the community come together to discuss timber sales and other proposed projects with Forest Service staff. Cascade Forest Conservancy is a founding member of, and active participant in, both forest collaboratives in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The Pinchot Partners, formed in 2003, focuses on projects in the Cowlitz Valley Ranger District, and the South Gifford Pinchot Collaborative, formed in 2011, focuses on projects in the Mt. Adams Ranger District. Through collaborative participation, our goal is to influence GPNF projects to be sustainable for wildlife, fish, water quality, and local communities.

Darryl and Darvel Lloyd were recently featured in an OPB special about their long history of conservation work on Mount Adams. The Lloyd brothers have been great partners of CFC for many years. We are lucky to get to work beside them in studying and helping to protect the unique landscapes of Mount Adams.

Beavers have a bit of a reputation as being nuisances for landowners. But to us, they are self-adapting ecosystem engineers! For that reason, we are beginning a project with Cowlitz Indian Tribe to reintroduce more beavers into the aquatic ecosystems of Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
From old-growth forests to snow-covered alpine areas, Washington’s South Cascades are home to a variety of habitat types that support unique plant and animal populations. Connectivity throughout the landscape allows wildlife to move between habitat areas, enabling populations to be more resilient to a changing climate. Cascade Forest Conservancy has identified some of the key areas in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest that, with increased protections, would improve the ability of wildlife populations to move between patches of habitat and be more resilient to climate change impacts.
Ballroom, and was a lovely evening. An array of silent auction items, the Wall of Beverages, the popular Heads & Tails bead game, the live auction, and the Dessert Dash were all a big hit with the crowd! This year’s Special Appeal, focusing on the Mt. St Helen’s mine campaign, was a great chance to support the important work that CFC does to protect the Gifford Pinchot National Forest from environmental degradation.
Evergreen High School and Heritage High School in Vancouver, WA and Robert Gray Middle School in Portland, OR participated in our Young Friends of the Forest program this October. Evergreen’s Environmental Science Class embarked on a wildlife camera survey where they helped set up the cameras and learned about animal track and scat identification. Classes from Robert Gray Middle School and Heritage High School assisted with the first stages of our beaver reintroduction project by assessing habitat suitability in wetlands and riparian areas. Each class also planted around 80 trees to improve aquatic habitat, increase bank stability and biodiversity, and create future forage for newly reintroduced beavers. A huge thank you to all the teachers and students involved with the projects this semester![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#444444″ thickness=”3″][vc_column_text]
