Dear Neighbor,
This website is dedicated to stories of people in North Central Washington (people like you) connecting with nature. As we live, all of us collect stories ? stories that shape us and help us to enjoy the place we call home. For many, North Central Washington is special in no small part due to the many opportunities we have to get outside ? either to explore or because our work takes us there. What are your experiences? Memories? Hopes?
Thank you for sharing!
The Nature of North Central Washington celebrates the rich diversity of life that makes this portion of the Northwest special. The 12-minute video explores the natural systems and species that characterize the alpine, coniferous forest, shrub steppe and freshwater habitats of the north central region of Washington state. The program combines the expertise of regional scientists with that of local residents to create a portrait of biodiversity resources along with the actions people are taking across the region to conserve this natural wealth. Illustrated with photographs contributed by more than 50 local community members, The Nature of North Central Washington serves as a platform for developing additional place-based programs that focus on individual counties or habitat types and contribute to a greater understanding of the biodiversity resources of the region.
