WHO WE ARE

The WRCD is a 501(c)(3) non-profit located in Washington State, where communities face significant natural resource challenges, often lacking the necessary tools and resources to address them effectively. Addressing these challenges calls for innovative and collaborative solutions to strengthen and sustain resilient communities.

We take a multifaceted approach to supporting communities’ adaptation to ever-changing environmental and economic conditions. We believe resilience stems from solid community connections, partnerships, and relationships, which are essential for achieving effective outcomes.
