WHAT WE DO


Our collaborative projects seek to create impact across the following focus areas:

  • ECOLOGY

    Forests and living landscapes provide more than ecosystem services. Our Ecology focus area compiles ecological considerations, positive multiplier effects, and shares resources and best practices for those interacting with our forest ecosystems.

  • EDUCATION

    Our collaborative approach engages regional organizations and agencies to support impactful forest health and land stewardship projects through outreach, convening stakeholders, and more.

  • WOOD PRODUCTS

    We research, pilot and implement projects that increase the utilization of wood. This includes researching gaps, conducting feasibility studies, and engaging stakeholders to design and align on desired outcomes.

Regenerative Forest Solutions
works to achieve the
following goals:

Increase forest health.

Support sustainable wood utilization for renewable and vibrant local economies.

Improve community and ecological resilience.

Provide educational opportunities and resources to support active stewardship of our working lands and forest ecosystems.

Focus Area: Wood Products

Healthy forests are key for well-functioning watersheds, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, good air quality, fire resilience, and more. We’re exploring regional infrastructure needs that will enable more regenerative forest stewardship and wood utilization.

The recent article in Bay Nature Magazine (link on the right), outlines a few challenges toward increasing forest stewardship and wood utilization on public and private lands.
