Mast Reforestation’s Post

There is no reforestation without seed. As wildfires burn hotter and longer due to climate change, seed banks are being depleted. Cone collection operations across the western U.S. are vital for ensuring seed is available to restore forests after wildfires. And the impact goes well beyond collecting cones. We are proud of the collaborative work between our nursery Silvaseed Company and Glacier Peak Institute to replenish the western U.S. seed supply and restore burned forests that are unlikely to regenerate naturally. Check out the latest story from FOX 13 Seattle reporter Matthew Smith spotlighting the people on the front lines of reforestation: https://lnkd.in/dCD2Mg5A #mastreforestation #forestrestoration #forestresilience

Forests are facing ever-increasing barriers to natural regeneration, fueled by climate change and other factors. As journalists at The Associated Press point out, larger and more intense wildfires “destroy trees that normally provide seeds for regeneration or leave burn scars so large trees can’t naturally bridge the gap.” At Mast, we’re working to restore resilient forests that are more capable of handling severe fires, drought, and other threats exacerbated by climate change. 👇Read the article linked in the comments👇

Congrats to Ning Zeng for leading this research. This kind of study provides invaluable evidence of durability related to carbon storage solutions—demonstrating long-term sequestration for more than 1000+ years.

“We're reforesting Sheep Creek Ranch with about 2500 acres of native conifers, meaning Lodgepole Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir. These are the species that were present here before the fire. And so we're restoring with those same climate adapted species. Here at the headwaters of the Missouri River, this is really important. As the forest recovers, it reduces the impact of those raindrops on the soil and holds a cooler site. So, the snowpack stays longer and that water filters down into the soil and refreshes the aquifer at a slower pace.” - Lisa Gonzales-Kramer, our VP of Forest Carbon Development KRTV Great Falls highlighted the multi-faceted impact of our carbon removal project at Sheep Creek Ranch. 👇Read the article linked in the comments👇 #mastreforestation #forestrestoration #forestresilience
