At Preserve the North, our mission goes beyond crafting quality hats — we're here to make a tangible impact on the natural world we draw our inspiration from. That's why we carefully choose to partner with organizations that are actively working to protect, restore, and preserve the environment. Every partnership we form is intentional, rooted in shared values, and focused on real-world outcomes.

1. Aligned Missions, Stronger Impact

We seek out partners — whether nonprofit environmental groups, local conservation initiatives, or ethical material suppliers — whose goals align with our core belief: that nature deserves to be preserved for future generations. From wildlife protection to reforestation efforts, our partners are on the frontlines of environmental action. By supporting them, we extend our reach far beyond what we could do alone.

2. Transparency and Accountability

We prioritize transparency and integrity in everything we do, and we expect the same from those we work with. Our partners are chosen for their proven track records, measurable impact, and commitment to sustainability. Whether it’s a tree-planting initiative or a recycled material supplier, we ensure our contributions are making a real, trackable difference.

3. Local Roots, Global Reach

Many of our partnerships focus on regions that inspire our designs — the forests, coasts, and trails of the North. By working with local conservation groups, we help protect the very landscapes our hats are made to honor. At the same time, we support global organizations tackling climate change and habitat loss on a broader scale, recognizing that preservation is both a local and global responsibility.

4. Sustainable Materials & Ethical Production

We collaborate with eco-conscious textile producers and manufacturers who share our commitment to sustainable practices. This means using organic cotton, recycled fabrics, biodegradable packaging, and minimizing carbon emissions throughout the supply chain. Our partners help ensure that every hat is as gentle on the planet as it is durable and stylish.

5. Empowering Communities

Some of our partnerships also focus on community empowerment — from supporting Indigenous land stewardship to creating fair-wage jobs in rural areas. We believe that people are an essential part of the preservation story, and we work with organizations that uplift communities while protecting ecosystems.
