Need a new woodstove? We can help!
A major Northwest Clean Air Agency effort focuses on reducing wood smoke in the Columbia Valley Urban Growth Area. We do this in part by helping people replace old, polluting woodstoves with new stoves and ductless heat pumps.
This helps cut down on smoke during winter periods when stoves are in heavy use. To date, NWCAA — working with the Opportunity Council — has replaced more 100 woodstoves in Columbia Valley.

Get a free air sensor to track smoke particles!
You can get a free air sensor at home from NWCAA to track fine particles like those in smoke!
NWCAA uses PurpleAir sensors in addition to our monitoring stations. We are adding outdoor sensors in the Columbia Valley urban growth area to give us more information about smoke in the area.
You just need to live inside the urban growth area and have a power source and a WiFi connection. Interested? Contact NWCAA monitoring manager Evan Bing at evanb@nwcleanairwa.gov.
And you can watch our video about PurpleAir’s sensor map and data! https://bit.ly/3M6zrFE
