Our Purpose

To experience the forests and streams of Washington state's magnificent Olympic Peninsula is to open the door to a lasting journey of discovery. Among the planet's truly special places, the Olympic Bioregion offers not only superb habitat for its native flora and fauna, but also a rare opportunity to reestablish our long-forgotten connections to the natural world.



Excessive logging and poorly constructed or maintained roads have unfortunately degraded the natural integrity of the Olympic Peninsula, including wildlife habitat and clean water. Such actions continue to cause harm, both through legacies of past damage and lack of regulatory protections today. Prevention and correction of these issues are where the Olympic Forest Coalition (OFCO) finds its calling.

OFCO is devoted not only to monitoring and intervening on behalf of the natural marvels of the Olympic National Forest and Olympic Experimental State Forest, but also to share and emphasize the findings of our region's scientists, while communicating a positive vision of a more respectful and forward-thinking relationship with these lands and waters.

OFCO can't achieve these goals alone. Please take some time to explore this site. More than ever, the Olympic forests need devoted friends and allies. Consider sharing your talents, interests, or other personal resources with OFCO. The deep woods and laughing creeks, still teeming with life, will thank you.
