The Hoh River Trust

 The Hoh River Trust was formed to own and manage river lands along the Hoh River on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula with an objective to conserve, restore, and enhance these lands for the benefit of fish, wildlife, and people.

The Trust’s work is focused in three areas; restoration, stewardship, and outreach. We are working to restore the industrial timberland to a more naturally evolving condition that will enhance habitat for the dependent species. We oversee the condition of the property and ensure that its uses are compatible with our conservation objectives. And we engage the community in a meaningful way to ensure that this land retains its recreational and cultural vitality, and that ultimately the community has a true sense of ownership and stewardship over these lands.

Hoh River Trust featured in recent Seattle Times article.

Recently the Seattle Times ran a feature article on the work being done by the Hoh River Trust.  It described the work being done by the Trust as "one of the largest single conservation efforts in Washington".

We would like to thank the Seattle Times for taking the time to recognize the work of the Hoh River Trust.

Preserving Habitat for Endangered & Threatened Species

As you stand along the Hoh River as we did last week and the bright sun filtered through the lush green canopy it is easy to stand in awe of the beauty of the river and the surrounding landscape.

However, we are constantly reminded that our forest stewardship extends far beyond preserving the visual beauty of this ecosystem.  Home to Northern Spotted Owl, Marbled Murrelet, Pacific Chinook Salmon and wild steelhead the Hoh River and Valley represents one of the last great places to insure these species don't become extinct.

'Preserving a Last Great American River' means a lot more when you think of it in these terms.
