Pictured: Redwood recovered from the Sonoma Coast. Without local processing facilities, this high-value material would have been chipped or burned. Instead, it was milled into lumber and transformed into durable wood products.

Timbershed is led by Regenerative Forest Solutions (nonprofit) and Forestree Collective (for-profit) with broad support from partners and consultants listed here.

Investments in Timbershed:

  • Enable improved wildfire resilience and forest health;
