This case study explores a developing restoration forest economy and its positive impacts along the forest products value chain; these impacts can be seen both in terms of wealth retention and creation and of forging linkages between rural and urban people and places. Sustainable Northwest, a regional nonprofit, has played a vital role as value chain intermediary in this case.
