Shuksan Conservancy:
A Salish Sea Headwaters Initiative
Conserving the natural and cultural heritage of the North Cascades in Whatcom and Skagit Counties
Initiatives
Pollinator Conservation
Pollinators are keystone species and we advocate for critical flowering plant habitats that support healthy plant-pollinator relationships.
North Cascades National Park Expansion
Some US Forest Service lands around North Cascades National Park are vulnerable to mining, logging, hydropower, geothermal energy, and recreation.
Collaborative Conservation
We work closely with local Tribes and foster a strong sense of place
Heather meadows pollinator study
From 2015-2019, The Shuksan Conservancy worked with volunteers from the Washington Native Plant Society to examine flower abundance and timing with pollinators at Heather Meadows. This study was recently accepted for publication by the journal Northwest Science.
