VISION

Washington’s communities and landscapes are resilient by adapting together.

MISSION

To connect communities with the resources they need to build place-based strategies and thrive in an ever-changing world.

WHO WE ARE

WRCD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps build resilience in Washington’s communities and landscapes through shared commitment and cooperation. Across the state, disruptions to natural systems often outpace the tools and resources communities have to address them. WRCD meets that gap with a collaborative, multifaceted approach — strengthening local capacity and leadership so communities can adapt to changing economic and ecological conditions, define their own path forward, and create lasting impact in place.
