our vision /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// THE CASCADE AGENDA is a 100 year vision and immediate action plan for the lands and communities of our region. It is based on the input of thousands of residents across our region and offers pragmatic solutions to the challenges and opportunities created by our tremendous population growth. The Cascade Agenda’s collective vision is grounded in the belief that a broad coalition can achieve fundamental change. It is a balanced approach to conservation and community building that encourages collaboration across all sectors and considers environmental, social and economic needs. The Cascade Agenda brings together business, civic and government leaders to accomplish two big goals: Our Lands: Protect 1 million acres of working forests (93% of existing timberland) and farms (85% of current agricultural lands) and 265,000 acres of shorelines, natural areas and parks. Our Communities: Maintain our rural economies and way of life and enhance the vibrancy and livability of our cities and towns. 4 THE OLYMPIC AGENDA is an emerging conversation with the residents of the Olympic Peninsula to shape a future of great communities and healthy landscapes. Forterra is working with residents, organizations and businesses of the Peninsula to create a 100-year vision and immediate action plan for the lands, communities and economy of Clallam, Grays Harbor, Jefferson and Mason Counties. Drawing on the experience of creating The Cascade Agenda, Forterra will identify and help implement strategies that will provide a non-regulatory guide to conservation and community growth.
