For over 15 years, Mountain Rose Herbs and Eugene, Oregon-based Cascadia Wildlands have worked hand-in-hand to protect the wild ecosystems of the Cascadia bioregion. This partnership, rooted in a shared commitment to environmental preservation, highlights the importance of sustainable practices and the need for ongoing efforts to safeguard public lands. From supporting local conservation projects to ensuring responsible wildcrafting, Mountain Rose Herbs and Cascadia Wildlands have cultivated a symbiotic relationship that strengthens both organizations and benefits Cascadia’s biodiversity.
How Protecting the Forest Ensures Access to Wild Food and Medicine
The Cascadia bioregion’s public lands are rich with biodiversity, providing an abundance of herbs, mushrooms, and other botanicals. Many of these plants, such as Oregon grape root, are harvested from wild lands, highlighting the importance of preserving these spaces for both environmental and human health.
Wildcrafting requires an intimate knowledge of the environment and a careful, sustainable approach to harvesting. This practice, while beneficial, can pose risks if done without proper guidelines. Mountain Rose Herbs follows sustainability guidelines to minimize ecological impact, ensuring that plant populations have the opportunity to regenerate and continue supporting wildlife and the overall ecosystem. This approach reflects their commitment to responsible sourcing and long-term environmental stewardship and makes their partnership with Cascadia Wildlands a natural collaboration.
Why Partnership Matters
Our partnership with like-minded businesses represents a mutual commitment to preserving wild spaces and promoting sustainability. For Mountain Rose Herbs, protecting the habitats where medicinal and culinary botanicals are harvested is essential to maintaining the authenticity and quality of their products. By supporting Cascadia Wildlands, the company is investing in the future of the environment. This partnership is about safeguarding the integrity of their supply chain and contributing to broader environmental goals.
For Cascadia Wildlands, partnering with Mountain Rose Herbs brings valuable resources, including financial contributions and a network of passionate supporters, which are essential to their conservation efforts. The partnership allows Cascadia Wildlands to advance critical conservation projects and confront reckless public lands management. By working together, the two organizations amplify their impact, reach wider audiences, and mobilize greater action for environmental preservation.
The partnership between Mountain Rose Herbs and Cascadia Wildlands isn’t just about two organizations working together; it’s about creating opportunities for the community to engage in the protection of the environment. For the month of November, Mountain Rose Herbs will proudly match donations (up to $5,000)! This means your gift will be doubled and will help us protect the wild spaces in Cascadia that we need to sustain.

The Bureau of Land Management is planning reckless older forest timber sales at a breakneck pace in western Oregon, including the Blue and Gold timber sale which proposes to aggressively log over 3,000 acres of older forest southwest of Eugene. Mountain Rose Herbs and Cascadia Wildlands know that these legacy forests are worth more standing for the myriad of values they offer like clean water, carbon storage, fish and wildlife habitat, and unparalleled recreation. When you donate to Cascadia Wildlands, you are supporting grassroots organizing, litigation, and policy campaigns to protect Cascadia’s storybook forests.
Over the past 15 years, the partnership between Mountain Rose Herbs and Cascadia Wildlands has grown stronger, rooted in a commitment to preserving the wild beauty of the Cascadia bioregion. Together, they demonstrate how businesses and nonprofits can work together to make a positive impact on the environment and ensure that sustainable practices remain viable.
As the partnership continues to evolve, so too does the potential for community involvement and greater conservation efforts. Through the matched donation during the month of November and when purchasing from ethical companies like Mountain Rose Herbs, individuals can actively contribute to the protection of public lands and old-growth forests for generations to come.
