What We Do

For over 27 years, Lomakatsi has partnered closely with local, state and federal agencies, Tribal Nations, nonprofits, community members, and many others to restore thousands of acres of forests and miles of streams. We strive to advance social equity by layering in education, tribal partnerships, and workforce training and development programs, while helping to create more resilient ecosystems and communities across all lands. Our four main project areas are below.

Ecological Restoration

Healing ecosystems from forests to fish

Workforce Training & Education

Mentoring the next generation of ecosystem stewards

Tribal Partnerships

Supporting tribes in restoring their ancestral lands

Forest Worker Health & Safety

Building on the legacy of the Northwest Forest Worker Center

Lomakatsi’s mission is to restore ecosystems and the sustainability of communities, cultures, and economies.

Program Highlights

Youth Ecological Forestry Training & Employment Program

Lomakatsi is honored to be a Program Partner of Oregon Conservation Corps, which funded two expanded 18-week sessions of our training program model for youth ages 18-26 in 2022-2023, and will continue to fund the program in 2023-2024. Participants earn nationally-recognized certifications and gain hands-on experience in ecological restoration and fuels reduction, including through our landscape-scale collaborative initiatives.

Check out these two videos featuring Lomakatsi and other programs in this statewide effort to create fire-adapted communities and train the workforce of tomorrow.

Mission

Restore ecosystems and the sustainability of communities, cultures, and economies.

We acknowledge that Lomakatsi operates programs across the ancestral lands of aboriginal peoples who lived and live in the watersheds of the Willamette River, Rogue River, Klamath River, Umpqua River, and Pit River, in what is now called Oregon and California. From sagebrush hillsides and mixed conifer forests, to oak woodlands and riverine systems, we offer our respect, recognition, and gratitude to the original past, present, and future inhabitants of these landscapes, to whom we dedicate this work.
