Forest Renewal

NO OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL PRIORITY IS HIGHER.

Each year, thousands of houses, entire communities, and Californians are destroyed by wildfires. Large tracts of forest are destroyed by wildfire, which also kills countless numbers of trees, animals, and other vegetation. Whole species are eradicated. Systems of natural water are eliminated. No environmental catastrophe is worse than this one. Our woods, animals, water supply, agriculture, and way of life are all at more risk from environmental threats than any other.

Our approach

Our approach integrates fuel reduction, reforestation, and the removal of dead, burned, and dying trees to enhance ecological resilience while delivering measurable greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. By partnering with key stakeholders such as tribal organizations, conservation districts, and state agencies, we aim to create sustainable, long-term environmental and economic impacts.

Wildfires

Fighting wildfires is far more expensive than they can be maintained. Megafires currently occur often in California each year. At intolerable risk and expense, a large number of firefighters, engines, planes, and support staff are dispatched. Even yet, they expose vast swaths of the terrain when they are successful. Controlling this yearly cycle of devastation is the first priority.

 

The Forest Renewal Alliance aims to reduce wildfire risks, improve forest health, and support communities impacted by wildfires and flooding. This project will address critical forestry treatment needs across federal parks, tribal lands, and private properties by leveraging traditional ecological knowledge, workforce development programs, and innovative technology such as LIDAR and a forest work tracking app. Servicing all of Southern San Joaquin Valley
