Keeping the Northwest wild Fall 2014 5
You are undoubtedly as concerned
as we are about the people and wildlife
living in fire-affected areas throughout
Washington state. As a land and wildlife
organization, Conservation Northwest
has an important role to play on these
landscapes to ensure forest health, con-
nected habitats and the long-term sur-
vival of iconic Northwest natives such
as the gray wolf, mule deer, Canada lynx
and grizzly bear. And so do you!
Together we safeguard wild places for
the benefit of both animals and people,
from the Chiliwist in the Okanogan to
British Columbia's Coast Range, the
North Cascades and beyond. e sup-
port of people like you has allowed us
to protect old-growth forests, critical
habitats and beloved public lands from
excessive development and resource ex-
traction.
Consider one of the ways to help:
1. Tell us what you think! We are
