Welcome to the Enchantments Alliance: Protecting one of Washington’s most extraordinary places for generations to come.
The Enchantments are among the most spectacular and beloved wilderness landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. But that popularity is creating a challenge that the systems designed to protect this place were never built to handle. Extraordinary visitation is putting increasing pressure on fragile alpine ecosystems, visitor safety, sanitation, wildlife, and the wilderness experience itself. At the same time, the U.S. Forest Service faces significant staffing, funding, and capacity constraints. The Enchantments Alliance is a collaborative initiative to expand capacity and bring together the resources, expertise, partnerships, and community support needed to help the Forest Service successfully steward this extraordinary landscape.
The Enchantments Alliance is an investment in the long-term capacity, collaboration, and solutions necessary to ensure the Enchantments remain extraordinary for generations to come. TREAD provides the nonprofit infrastructure and collaborative capacity to bring this effort together. But The Enchantments Alliance belongs to something much larger: a community of people and organizations who believe this remarkable place is worth protecting.
