The Conservation Alliance

Cascade Land Conservancy (CLC) is Washington’s largest independent land conservation and stewardship organization.

Over the past decade, CLC has led the conservation of more than 150,000 acres ranging broadly from the recent expansion of Tacoma’s popular Snake Lake park to conserving vast forested areas in the Snoqualmie Forest.

CLC is uniquely positioned in the conservation community, known for our far-reaching programs, savvy thinking and ability to partner with diverse groups. Our work is closely tied to communities, including active volunteer leadership groups in King, Kittitas, Pierce, Mason, and Snohomish counties.

 The Cascade Agenda

CLC is working with our partners to chart a bold course with The Cascade Agenda.  As we look forward to the next 100 years, the Puget Sound region’s population will grow by 3.5 million people. We need to take steps now to create the best future for our region. The Cascade Agenda links the significant landscape conservation with the creation of livable, vibrant cities and towns.  The Agenda will accomplish these goals through a cooperative, market-based approach recognizing that our region's quality of life depends on conservation, community and a strong economy.

Mission & Vision

The Cascade Land Conservancy envisions a region that combines spectacular landscapes, a vibrant economy and great places to live. We will act with immediacy to protect and steward our region’s most precious resource – the land. We will lead a movement to connect conservation to the fabric of our community and thereby change conservation as we know it.
