To raise awareness in the coffee industry and in the public at large about the positive role of shade coffee in conserving migratory birds, a group of local coffee roasters, retailers, and importers joined with Seattle Audubon Society to form the Northwest Shade Coffee Campaign.

We define "shade coffee" as coffee grown under a canopy of diverse species of trees that provides a viable winter habitat for migratory birds.

We welcome other importers, roasters, and retailers to become part of the Northwest Shade Coffee Campaign. To join, a company must:

1)  Take steps to identify the source of its coffee.

2)  Work with its vendors to ensure a supply of shade
     coffee.

3)  Carry and identify at least one offering that is 100% 
     shade grown.

4)  Educate its customers about shade coffee.

5)  Contribute a fee and in-kind service, and maintain
     regular contact with the campaign.

 

The American Redstart, Setophaga ruticilla,  lives in open deciduous woods, streamside growth with some tall trees
