Mission

Working collaborative, the Colville National Forest (CNF) and the Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition (NEWFC) focus on forest restoration, designing innovative stewardship through ecologically sound forest treatments that also provide timber and jobs supporting local economies. NEWFC likewise advocates for protecting old growth, roadless areas, and permanent protections while restoring forest resilience. NEWFC disseminates information and education to the public about forest restoration and conservation and the importance of collaboratively supporting sustainable public land management and community resilience.

Program accomplishments

  • Forest Health & Partnership Coordination: Through funding provided by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Building Forest Partnerships (BFP) grant program, NEWFC strengthened regional collaboration among federal, state, tribal, industrial, and small private landowners. Activities included convening stakeholder meetings, facilitating cross-boundary forest restoration planning, and supporting project development aimed at wildfire risk reduction, forest health improvement, and community protection. Grant funds supported coordination staff time, partner engagement, and development of restoration-focused proposals designed to increase the pace and scale of forest health treatments across Northeast Washington. These efforts improved communication among diverse interests and advanced shovel-ready projects aligned with state and federal forest resilience priorities.
    Expenses $3,319
  • Fish Passage Restoration Program:NEWFC also received funding through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office Family Forest Fish Passage Program (FFFPP) to support fish passage restoration infrastructure. In 2025, NEWFC assisted with the planning and implementation of a bridge installation project designed to replace a fish-blocking structure and restore aquatic connectivity. This project improved habitat access for native fish species, enhanced watershed function, and reduced long-term maintenance and flood risk concerns for the landowner. NEWFC coordinated partners, supported grant compliance and reporting, and helped ensure the project met state restoration standards.
    Expenses $269,864
  • Collaborative Forest Restoration and Outreach: The organization continued to serve as a neutral convener to promote science-based forest management and community engagement. Professional facilitation services supported stakeholder meetings, collaborative dialogue, and project coordination efforts. These activities advance the organization's exempt purpose of promoting sustainable forest management, resilient ecosystems, and economically viable forest-dependent communities.
    Expenses $11,044
