2026 is International Year of the Woman Farmer and in celebration of that, ODA is thrilled to shine a spotlight on Oregon women whose hard work powers our communities and beyond.
Meet Alex Sharp, a fourth-generation cattle rancher who lives and works in Oregon’s Klamath Basin. She also manages water projects for Sustainable Northwest in the Upper Klamath Basin, partnering with landowners to improve water and habitat. In the past four years, she has led conservation projects totaling over $1.2 million.

Today we got to watch begin replanting one of the many properties in Clackamas County that was leveled by the 2020o Labor Day Fires. Working with , , and we are helping private landowners affected by the 2020 Labor Day Fires recover and replant with climate-resilient, native trees, shrubs, and other species. The goal is to restore private forestlands so that they can keep supporting resources we all rely on: clean air, clean water, and healthy wildlife habitat — and be more resilient in case of another catastrophic wildfire. Remember, not all fire is bad, and in fact sometimes fire is beneficial. But when a wildfire turns catastrophic, it can have lasting consequences for all of us. Sustainable Northwest is helping improve forest health to withstand catastrophic fire.

Our staff went to Olympia last week to educate Washington state legislators about the need to fully fund wildfire resilience and community forest in Washington — and the many benefits that come from both. We can balance nature, people, and local economies by strategically investing in community-led natural resource solutions.
