PFT and the Michigan-California Timber Company have partnered with CAL FIRE to permanently protect the iconic landscape at Black Butte Working Forest, at the foot of Mount Shasta.
Previously slated for development, McCloud Soda Springs Working Forest is now permanently conserved for wood, water, and wildlife.
After 5 years of collaboration, a broad partnership has protected one of Oregon’s largest family-owned forests for timber and wildlife. The Parsons family, who have managed Mountcrest Forest for nearly 100 years, have partnered with Pacific Forest Trust to ensure Mountcrest Forest will never be broken up or developed, and that it will continue to be owned and well managed by the Parsons family for timber, wildlife habitat, and watershed values.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has awarded the Pacific Forest Trust (PFT) a grant of $500,000 to fund watershed restoration at the McCloud Soda Springs Working Forest, a more than 1300-acre property that is home to a variety of wildlife and a source of clean water.
New $4 million forest health grant will help reduce the likelihood and intensity of fire spreading across the iconic Black Butte and Mount Shasta forests.
A new study, conducted by Pacific Forest Trust, shows that half of the source watersheds that supply northern California’s primary reservoirs are at risk.
