Managed Working Forests: A Key Solution for Climate Mitigation
Harnessing the Power of Growing Trees
Healthy, growing trees are a powerful tool for combating climate change. With Washington’s rich soils and a staggering 9.2 billion trees in our forests, we have a remarkable opportunity to make strides toward carbon neutrality.
The Consequences of Neglect
Failure to care for our forests results in weakened trees that can’t effectively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Surprisingly, Washington now has over 650 million standing dead trees, with 55% found in previously managed National Forests. This situation not only releases carbon but also heightens the risk of devastating wildfires. In fact, this equates to 80 dead or dying trees for every person in the state, pushing us further from our carbon neutrality goal.

SUPPORT FOR
WORKING FORESTS
Washington’s working forests provide diverse public benefits, but the ability to sustainably manage our forests is always at risk.
Managing our working forests provides wood products, jobs, sustainable forestry and lowers the risk of wildfire by building roads for fire breaks and removing excessive fuels from the forest.
Your contribution to the Washington State Political Action Committee allows us to educate state policy makers on issues that affect private forest owners and workers and the impact of their decisions on the forest products industry.
Help us give a voice to support the importance of working forests, maintain a thriving state economy that meet nation-leading standards for environmental protection.
