Lucy, CFC's Policy Manager, spent a day on the Mou

Lucy, CFC's Policy Manager, spent a day on the Mount St. Helens Pumice Plain with Charlie Crisafulli, one of the longest-standing researchers on the Pumice Plain, who discovered the first plant (a lupin) to come back after the eruption sterilized the landscape of all life. No one knows this place like Charlie.

Now 40 years after the blast, this landscape is teeming with life. In one day they crossed wetlands and streams bearing fish and frogs, scrambled through dense willow thickets, encountered deep beaver ponds, and listened to the calls of roaming elk echoing through this windswept plain.

A landscape mostly recolonized by the wind, it is rich in biodiversity and changes rapidly from one watershed to another. It is hard to imagine a road cutting through this magnificent landscape and the damage it would do to this spectacular ecosystem and the ongoing research. Learn more @ the link in our bio

Honoring those who came before us and served as st

Honoring those who came before us and served as stewards of the land—and acknowledging the historic and continuing injustices committed against them—is an important part of protecting and caring for the places we love.⠀
⠀
Land within the area we work, now referred to as the southern Washington Cascades, is the home of diverse and unique communities of the Cowlitz, Yakama, Nisqually, Salish, and other peoples, and has been for thousands of years. Much of our administrative work happens in Portland, Oregon, on land that is the home of the Multnomah tribe of the Chinook People. These lands and their rich resources enabled many peoples to thrive and they stewarded the land with their traditional cultures.⠀
⠀
Today, we appreciate the resilience and persistence of the Cowlitz, Yakama, Salish, Nisqually, and Multnomah Peoples and the important role they play in our region, as we join in the work of protecting this land for future generations.⠀

Back in 2012, a lightning strike south of Mt. Adam

Back in 2012, a lightning strike south of Mt. Adams started a fire that would become the largest in the #GiffordPinchot National Forest since 1927. High winds and vulnerable insect-damaged forests fueled a wildfire that burned more than 30 square miles.⠀
⠀
Fires are a natural part of forest ecology, but sometimes habitats can have a hard time recovering after unusually frequent or intense fires like the ones we are seeing more and more as our climate changes. ⠀
⠀
Last weekend, Cascade Forest Conservancy staff and volunteers headed into some areas burned by the Cascade Creek Fire to help ecosystems recover by replanting native species of plants.
