What we do:
The Oak Alliance, spearheaded by Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture, is a dynamic coalition of partnerships across the Pacific Northwest. Our collaborative effort focuses on landscape-scale oak and prairie conservation, harnessing collective energy to build capacity, secure resources, inform policy, and generate broad public support for oak conservation and restoration.
We recognize the vital role oaks play in enhancing forest and infrastructure protection, supporting healthy wildlife populations, community well-being, and driving economic growth from rural to urban areas across the Pacific Northwest. Our mission is to sustain these advantages and preserve oak ecosystems.
