Our Work
Supporting Credible Forest Certification Systems
WFLC is supporting credible forest certification systems that advance responsible forest management and protect working forest ecosystems.
Advocating for the Preservation of Forestlands
WFLC is taking action to protect forestlands from conversion to non-forest uses. In places like the Teanaway, working forests contribute to the regional economy and family incomes, provide wildlife habitat and recreation, and store carbon.
Challenging the 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement
WFLC is taking action to uncover the truth behind the $350 million giveaway to the U.S. timber industry and its allies.
Protecting and Recovering the Northern Spotted Owl
WFLC is taking steps to ensure the protection and recovery of the northern spotted owl and its critical habitat.
Promoting Real Salmon Recovery
WFLC is leading efforts to ensure that logging rules and Habitat Conservation Plans employ the best available science to protect our threatened salmon runs. We are also taking action to improve and enforce the forest practices rules governing logging on steep and unstable slopes.
Ensuring Clean Water for Critical Fish Habitat
WFLC is taking action in Oregon to protect forested rivers and streams.
Addressing the Cumulative Effects of Forest Practices
WFLC is working to close the “death by a thousand cuts” loophole in the Washington forest practices regulations.
Assisting Small Forest Landowners
WFLC is encouraging rules and policies that benefit both the small forest landowners and the forests. Small forest landowners' stewardship plays a vital role in protecting our forests and rural areas from development.
