"Forest Conservation for a Better Future" 

This is an information page for a small timber lot in the Okanogan Highlands which is a part of the western foothills of the northern Rocky Mountains.
 

Our Mission is to practice simple sustainable conservation on this diverse timber lot.   Striving to improve wildlife habitat and the health of the streams that run through this remote highland ecosystem are central to this task. This stewardship will directly benefit the long-term preservation of the larger regional forest.
