Forests & Wildlife

All of Sightline's research, maps, and publications on Cascadia's forests, its wildlife and ecosystems, and how to safeguard the region's natural heritage.

Sightline Institute's Cascadia Scorecard project includes a forest indicator that measures the health of Northwest forests, by monitoring clearcuts in five key areas; and a wildlife indicator that tracks the abundance of five important Northwest species, including salmon, orcas, wolves, sage-grouse, and caribou.
