Is the Methow Conservancy a government organization?
No. The Methow Conservancy is a private, nonprofit organization with 501(c)3 status. We have no official connection with The Nature Conservancy or any other national environmental group. We are locally staffed and all of our board members own land in the Methow Valley and live here. We have over 750 members who support our programs. We do occasionally work with government agencies, like the Forest Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and the County to coordinate land use plans and to help make sure local public land management (weed control, forest thinning, prescribed fire, recreational planning, etc.) is as effective as possible.
