ecotrust’s mission is to inspire fresh thinking that creates economic opportunity, social equity and environmental well-being.

these days, there seems to be only one question...how do we fix our economy?

We ask a different question: is this the opportunity to restore our economy based on new principles?

We believe it’s possible for everyone, even in hard times. But it requires us to do three things…

innovate.invest.inspire.

We founded ecotrust nearly 20 years ago to help local communities achieve what author

Jane Jacobs called a more “reliable prosperity.” to that end, we encouraged a new type of

economic development that was more consistent with local culture and environmental

restoration. We believed clues to success lay in ancient wisdom: the more diverse and

intimate the connections between nature, economic well-being and community, the more

resilient all three might be.

We sought innovative ways to apply that wisdom, and then we invested. With ShoreBank,

we started a new type of bank that prioritized community-building and stewardship of the

environment in its lending. We started a forest ecosystem investment fund. We helped

schools find fresh local food for students, repatriated traditional land to First nations,

supported local fishermen with financing, and restored salmon runs. We found designers

and contractors with integrity to do a green rebuild of an old warehouse. Slowly, we leveraged

$60 million in grants into $300 million in new capital for families, businesses and the

environment from Alaska to California.

today, in the midst of a storm, we are testing our own persistence and resilience. ecotrust’s

2008 growth was modest, a rate consistent with the biological growth of our native forests,

but perhaps it shows resilience at a time when the S&p 500 lost more than a third of its

value. Maybe it’s because we believe in investing in things we all need, more than what we

want. We are investing in storing carbon in our forests, not releasing it. We are investing in

local food production, not transporting food halfway around the world. We are investing in

a healthy and creative place to work, and in our outstanding management team and staff.

local, living economies: not everyone will embrace the model, but we know it’s profitable,

better for the earth and better for local communities everywhere.

Cecil paul, a Haisla First nation elder with whom we worked to protect the 800,000-acre

Kitlope river watershed in British Columbia, once said that we are all building a magic canoe

— a metaphor for a growing global village. thank you for traveling with us.

Food & Farms

ecotrust Food & Farms seeks to create a world of possibilities for flourishing farms, vibrant communities and healthy eaters. Indeed, the three are inextricably linked.

Healthy Food, Healthy KidsWe lobbied legislators to place more healthy food in our region’s school lunchrooms, and we were selected by the national Farm to School network to lead advocacy efforts in an eight-state region of the West.

greater ImpactWe expanded the scope of our work and engaged preschool children for the first time through an agreement to bring regional food to Head Start programs.

creating connectionsWe launched development of FoodHub, an online directory and marketplace that makes it easy and efficient for buyers and sellers of regional food to find one another and conduct business. We also witnessed broad adoption of the Building Local Food Networks Toolkit, which enables communities across America to bring food producers and buyers face-to-face.

community engagementWe worked with dozens of organizational partners in our effort to create a robust regional food system, and we engaged over 350,000 in our region with the regular publication of Edible Portland.

FIsHerIes

ecotrust Fisheries works within coastal communities to help set policy, drive biological and economic research, and finance commercial fisheries.

Prevention vs. recoveryour team in Alaska — dedicated to preventing the fate of the lower 48 from reaching the great Copper river basin — launched a big-lever strategy for habitat conservation using the power of water reservations (rights). organizations involved in the discussion included federal and state agencies, Alaska native tribes, tribal nonprofits, Alaska native corporations, and Copper river stakeholders.

community-Based restorationB.C.’s Skeena river is one of the world’s great ecosystem restoration opportunities. We worked with the Skeena Watershed Commission and published Skeena River Fish and Their Habitat, the first comprehensive description of salmon stock and habitats for the entire Skeena watershed.

Funding coastal communitiesour north pacific Fisheries trust completed its first $1 million in loans in oregon and Alaska to community-based fisheries. the trust also helped launch a community fisheries project in southeast Alaska — the Alaska Sustainable Fisheries trust.

state of the salmon (sos)our SoS team released research on sockeye salmon of the north pacific; the result was the first international “red listing” protection for salmonids. State of the Salmon also launched three projects with state and provincial agencies to create more public understanding about salmon populations in Alaska, British Columbia and oregon.

eCotruSt >> 11

ForestrY

ecotrust Forestry seeks to develop and shape new markets – primarily around carbon, biodiversity and water – and practices forestry in a way that balances restoration and job creation.

creating carbon marketsWe joined the Western Climate Initiative discussion, where seven u.S. states and four Canadian provinces are working to build the largest regional carbon cap-and-trade system in north America. We also worked to create protocols for voluntary forest carbon markets.

supporting restorationWe used $2 million in state and federal grants to fund 21 community-based watershed restoration projects where salmon recovery is likely.

New technology for Forest managementWe launched our Forest Carbon toolkit, which helps tribal and Forest Stewardship Council-certified landowners, among others, better understand the quantity and potential value of the carbon stored in their forests.

Informing and InspiringWe co-published Redefining Stewardship: Public Lands and Rural Communities in the Pacific Northwest, a booklet that promotes community-based stewardship projects that create long-term local jobs and restoration projects.

NatIVe

ecotrust native programs support recognized native leaders and assist with community development, land repatriation and restoration initiatives.

tribal developmentWe retooled our ecotrust Award for Indigenous leadership with an eye toward growing the network of native leaders and creating new opportunities for local, regional, and international impact.

Forest and Watershed consultingWe worked with the Yurok tribe to assess a commercial forestland acquisition in the lower Klamath Basin. the effort is one of many that helped tribes assess market opportunities at the intersection of people, profit and planet.

cultural engagementWe welcomed many of our region’s native leaders to ecotrust, and we joined them in their homes. We also supported and participated in cultural events throughout the region.

technical supportWe provided service and consulting to tribes on conservation real estate transactions, climate change science programs, and education and youth scholarship funding.

KNoWledge sYstems

ecotrust Knowledge Systems maintains a deep commitment to research while offering expertise in market assessment, policy analysis, and ecosystem management consulting.

Protecting oceans and communitiesthrough technology and consulting, we helped implement more Marine protected Areas (MpAs) in the north Central Coast region of California, and then we got to work in Southern California. the result: improved long-term viability for coastal communities, and more protection for marine environments.

researchour team of analysts and researchers delivered a new class of Web-enabled social learning tools that combine scientific rigor with social pragmatism. the goal: empower communities with the latest in ecosystem management.

the Next generation of economicsIn order to change what is wrong with the economy, we must change what is wrong with economics as it is currently taught and practiced. our economics for equity and the environment (e3) network engaged economists to promote a vision of practical economics where the welfare of communities and the environment is considered together, not apart.

technology & Web InnovationWe received $50,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for open oceanMap, a marine mapping technology. Award judges such as Google’s Chief Internet evangelist Vint Cerf said the technology has the potential to revolutionize marine planning as we know it. We also launched people and place, which is part blog, part edited journal, and explores the big ideas that connect us all.

tHe Best oF tHe rest

Jean Vollum Natural capital centerWe hosted more than 500 events for 83,000 people, and 330,000 people visited our historic building. We took over part-time event management of the Center for Architecture, and we worked with Walsh Construction to apply oregon tax credits toward a new pV (solar) system on our roof. For our building and events staff, there was hardly a day of rest.

ecotrust Forest management, Inc.Bettina von Hagen took the reins of our for-profit subsidiary, hired new staff and hit the road to engage foresters and investors alike in discussions about the world’s latest ecosystem investment strategies. Investors seem to like what they’re hearing, as $4 million in new investments arrived during the year.

developmentWe set records for numbers of supporters and year-end fundraising. Despite hard times, our supporters reached deep in support of our mission.

communicationsIn 2008 we entered “phase 2” of our communications history. “phase 1” was about honoring the hard work of the people on the ground who were proving our concepts. phase 2 is about sharing the results of that work with a much broader national and international audience. this year we saw major news stories about ecotrust’s work on oregon public Broadcasting and in the San Francisco Chronicle, among other news outlets.

ecoNomIc, socIal aNd eNVIroNmeNtal resIlIeNce

thanks to ecotrust donors, hard work and a little luck, ecotrust human and financial assets held strong in 2008 as the economy and national employment collapsed. At the end of 2007, ecotrust employed 52 staff, and the natural Capital Fund (nCF) was $12.6 million. At the end of 2008, we employed 50 staff and the nCF was $12.59 million. this at a time when the S&p 500 lost more than

a third of its value. the 10-year nCF results are even more impressive. this was achieved through investing in local, living economies and things we all need — forests, water, land, food and healthy workplaces . We believe in creating and demonstrating a more reliable prosperity. So far, in an uncertain world, that approach just might work.
