Northwest Natural Resource Group

Northwest Natural Resource Group (NNRG) is a conservation and rural economic development non‐profit organization based in Seattle, Washington. Our mission is to strengthen the ecological and economic vitality of Northwest forests and communities by connecting people with the knowledge, skills, and markets they need to steward their land.

We believe that with thoughtful, expert insights, forests can be cared for to provide a sustainable yield of timber alongside ecosystem services such as clean water, fresh air, wildlife habitat, carbon storage, and recreational opportunities. We collaborate with landowners to realize this vision, focusing on family forests, conservation organizations, land trusts, local governments, youth camps, and smaller forest product companies. Our forestry program helps landowners craft management plans, implement stewardship activities, and conduct timber harvests. We also offer Washington and Oregon forest owners access to Forest Stewardship Council® certification through our 190,000-acre group certificate, the largest FSC certificate in the Pacific Northwest.
