The Aurora portfolio boasts one of the lowest wildfire risk scores of any large scale U.S. forestry portfolio, with a WHP score of 1.1. Proactively managing for types of risks is a key element of Aurora's commitment that carbon storage and sequestration on our lands is for the long term. #Aurora #forestcarbon #forestmanagement

“This is where we get our food. Why wouldn’t we try to protect it and bring it back to what it was?” Guardians are on the front lines observing more invasive species in their traditional territories, and it’s a growing cause for concern. Invasive species have the potential to outcompete and devastate entire ecosystems if not properly mitigated. Watch & learn from T’Sou-ke Nation Marine Team and the Imaryuk Monitors as they share a glimpse into some of the hands-on action taking place against invasive species on their traditional territories. Guardians are unique to each nation because each program is designed to empower and build capacity for youth to grow their connections to land and ultimately build strong and resilient nations for many generations to come.
