Bringing stakeholders together on the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest since 2015.

About the Collaborative

The Darrington Collaborative brings together stakeholders from the community of Darrington, WA, environmental organizations, members of the local timber industry and STEM youth educators around shared goals of increasing ecologically sustainable timber harvest under the Northwest Forest Plan on the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest while improving the ecological functioning of our forests and watersheds. The Darrington Collaborative works with The Forest Service,  local elected officials, Tribes and local stakeholders to simultaneously create a more ecologically resilient  forest, provide for increased, sustainable timber harvest on the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National  Forest, provide economic benefits to the community of Darrington and create educational opportunities  for Darrington’s youth through the STEM program.
