BY SUSTAINABLY HARVESTING WESTERN JUNIPER WE ARE RESTORING RANGELANDS TO THEIR NATURAL STATE, AND RETURNING MORE WATER AND A HEALTHY WILDLIFE HABITAT TO THE HIGH DESERT. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: MARKETS: SUSTAINABLE NORTHWEST BELIEVES THAT MARKET BASED APPROACHES ARE ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND LONG LASTING STRATEGIES FOR RESTORING OUR ENVIRONMENT AND RURAL ECONOMIES. FOR 10 YEARS WE HAVE HELPED WOOD PRODUCTS BUSINESSES BY PROVIDING THEM WITH ACCESS TO A FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (FSC) GROUP CHAIN OF CUSTODY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM. THE GROUP CERTIFICATION PROGRAM MAKES OBTAINING FSC CERTIFICATION EASIER FOR MEMBERS BY REDUCING THEIR CERTIFICATION COST AND STAFF TIME, AND PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT. AS BUSINESSES SEE THE VALUE OF REACHING CONSUMERS ASKING FOR FSC CERTIFIED WOOD, THEY ARE GETTING INVOLVED AND GETTING CERTIFIED. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: SPECIAL PROJECTS: AS AN ADAPTIVE AND INNOVATIVE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, SUSTAINABLE NORTHWEST IS ALWAYS PUTTING FORTH NEW IDEAS THAT ADDRESS NEW CHALLENGES OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES. SOME OF THESE EFFORTS CURRENTLY INCLUDE FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES FOR OUR RURAL COMMUNITY-BASED PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS; NETWORKING INTERESTED PARTIES TO EXPLORE AND LEARN ABOUT COMMUNITY OWNED FOREST OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES; AND PROVIDING A FORUM FOR POLICY AND RURAL LEADERS TO DISCUSS RESTORATION OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST'S LANDSCAPE AND RURAL ECONOMIES.
