The settlers in the Cascade Mountain region initially treated the environment as a resource to exploit for economic gain. Logging, mining, and agriculture were common practices that led to deforestation, habitat destruction, and pollution of waterways.

However, over time, as awareness of the importance of conservation and sustainable practices grew, settlers began to implement more responsible environmental practices. Efforts were made to protect natural areas, establish national parks and forests, and regulate logging and mining activities to minimize environmental impact. Today, there is a greater emphasis on conservation and environmental stewardship in the Cascade Mountain region.
