This signature event raises funds to sustain our conservation and advocacy programs at The Mountaineers. The 2024 program theme is Northwest Forests! Please join us for an evening of food, drinks, community, and thoughtful conversation about advocating for our natural world.
Ensuring a Sustainable Future for Northwest Forests
From smoky summers to closed trails, the Northwest’s old growth forests are increasingly impacted by wildfire and climate change. To ensure that future generations can continue to experience the vibrant forests we cherish, the Northwest Forest Plan is getting an update. The Mountaineers is a part of the Federal Advisory Committee that’s crafting a new plan to make our forests more resilient to wildfire and climate impacts, protect our last remaining old growth forests, and deepen Tribal co-stewardship. Join us to hear members of the Committee and other key stakeholders discuss how these forests are changing, how the updated plan aims to shape a better path forward, and how you can get involved.
Speakers include:
- Ann House, JD - Senior Staff Attorney, Snoqualmie Indian Tribe
- James Johnston, PhD - Assistant Research Professor, University of Oregon
- Megan Birzell - Washington State Director, The Wilderness Society
- Betsy Robblee (moderator) - Conservation & Advocacy Director, The Mountaineers
The evening will conclude with an invitation to support The Mountaineers conservation and advocacy programs through philanthropic support.
