The Coast Range Association:

The Oregon and Washington Coast Range is one of the greatest regions in the world. Its natural beauty and its bountiful resources are why we live here. They provide the pillars of the economy: forest products, tourist dollars, and the income brought by retirees. A great many artistic and creative people are attracted to our amazing region, particularly along the coast.

The Coast Range Association was formed in 1991. We work to defend the region's interests, protect its natural and cultural endowments and restore its rivers, wetalnds and forests. As such, we are deeply committed to the stewardship of our natural resources.

A balanced concern for people and the land informs our mission:

To build just and sustainable communities

that provide for people and the natural world.
