FOREST TRUST

People often ask me, "Why aren't our forests sustainable? Aren't we re-planting after we cut?" My response is that a forest is not a plantation. A forest is a mosaic, including ancient trees, venerable giants providing shelter for wildlife. A forest is clear, pure water; rivers alive with trout and salmon. A forest is the deep, rich soil, soaking, storing water and nutrients. A forest is wildness, silence. A forest is tall, straight trees for house beams and logs. A forest is a well spring of value for rural people... We provide direct assistance to landowners and help identify workable solutions to conserve their land.
