Timbershed is expanding after nearly $1MM of investments from public and private entities

Pictured: Redwood from the Sonoma Coast that was recovered due to a lack of facilities. This usable material would have been chipped or burned but was instead milled for lumber and made 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 wildfire resilience and improved forest health;

  • Create green jobs;

  • Deliver verified carbon and ecological outcomes;

  • Protect people and ecosystems for generations to come;

  • Reduce risk;

  • Support the establishment of a comprehensive, private-forestland owner program;

  • Expand California’s in-state capacity to manufacture value-added wood products, presently a net importer;

  • Demonstrate the potential of right-sized, community-scale wood management infrastructure in service to social, ecological and economic needs;

  • Provide educational information and workshops to engage a broad audience on the importance of active stewardship.
