Evergreen Forests

For over 50 years, WEC has worked to protect Washington’s forests for current and future generations. The goal of the Evergreen Forests Program is to ensure Washington State remains the Evergreen State by protecting state forest land, sustainably managing our private forest land, bringing new incentives and partners to the table, strengthening forestry issues in local communities, and holding our elected officials accountable.
