Forest resilience in Washington
Lobbying

Wildfire-smart policy & funding

Secure state/federal funding for fuels reduction and community protection.

Win durable public funding for forest restoration and community protection, so treatment pace and response capacity don’t collapse with each budget cycle. This strategy turns the state’s long-term plan into a concrete legislative ask—restoring cuts, locking in a stable mechanism, and tying dollars to measurable outcomes.

How American Forests uses funding

About Lobbying
  1. Define the specific budget and policy objectives for the next decision window.
  2. Build the case using the state’s long-term plan and recent funding and capacity needs.
  3. Coordinate a coalition to meet with legislators, staff, and executive offices and deliver aligned asks.
  4. Track amendments and negotiation points and adapt advocacy as the budget moves.
  5. Close the loop with a summary of what passed, what changed, and what the next push is.
