We’ve published our 2024 Annual Report!

During a recent lunch with a friend who is prominent in Washington politics, he commented that “Conservation NW is the most effective group that nobody knows about.” I think you will see this annual report as confirmation of the breadth and depth of our impact, from wolf recovery to wildlife crossings to forest protection and restoration, from wet habitats to dry, low elevation to high. Conservation Northwest is having incredible impact and making real progress in keeping the Northwest wild.
About the second part of his comment: If our program work is so strong, why are we unsung? I have long struggled with this and at times invested in trying to change it. But perhaps our impact and our volume cannot be reconciled. We choose collaboration over conflict, common ground over polarization, competence over bombast.
This is not to say that we are passive or don’t hold the line for wild nature. But when there is a trade-off between habitat and hype, we will always choose the former. We have learned that this better serves nature and, I think, also society. I am proud of our team, our record, and our style. Thanks for being among the few who recognize our worth and allow us to thrive.
Mitch Friedman, Executive Director
