In this issue: Extending the impact of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument; the value of fire; a tool to help meet landowners’ conservation goals; and how California and PFT advance climate solutions through forest conservation.
Extending the Impact of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument
Private landowners can make or break the forest conservation efforts in and around the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. We partner with landowners to extend the impact of the monument, protect the biodiversity of the area, and connect natural corridors for wildlife.
The Value of Fire
Natural forests are more likely to survive drought and mitigate climate change, according to research conducted by Malcolm North, Research Forest Ecologist for the USDA Forest Service. Find out more about the value of fire and restoring a more natural fire regime to stabilize carbon stores of fire-suppressed forests.
Terrafirma: A Tool to Help Meet Landowners’ Conservation Goals
When a landowner decides to conserve their property with Pacific Forest Trust, we want them to feel confident that we can indeed fulfill their goals of protecting and stewarding their land in perpetuity. That’s a big promise and the reason why we are members of Terrafirma.
From California to the Globe
California and Pacific Forest Trust leverage forests for a safer climate, setting the global standard for forests in climate policy and carbon offset projects. Discover how we advanced climate solutions, advocating for the role forests play, ahead of the 2015 Climate Talks in Paris.
