Our Mission
The Farms and Forests Sustainability Project seeks to improve human and ecological health, safety, and sustainability relative to farming and forestry as currently practiced in California. We seek to shift policies and practices in these sectors to move our communities forward into a future that is in harmony with the natural world and better able to adapt to the coming changes brought by climate change.
We promote sustainable forestry practices that mimic natural processes, including the restoration of fire's natural role in creating fire-resilient and biologically diverse landscapes in Northern California. Managing fire for beneficial uses means less destructive fires and less smoke over time, and sustainable forests that can adapt to climate change.
We are dedicated to finding and promoting solutions to the impacts of climate change on forests, wildlife, natural resources, farms, and our communities in the Northern California region. Sustainable forestry and agricultural practices are essential elements to increase carbon storage in our soils and trees and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are forcing unprecedented climate change. It is time for a new paradigm for natural resource management that builds resilience to change, that is in harmony with natural processes, and that is sustainable into the future.
We are organized as a charity under the 501 (c) (3) section of the IRS tax code. Contributions to our work are tax deductible.
