Time is of the essence. Many areas that have been hit by high-intensity wildfires are at risk of converting to non-forestlands without the right intervention.

Reforestation, fuel management and fuel breaks are crucial for restoring areas impacted by wildfires. In South Central Oregon, only half of the 144,000 acres on U.S. Forest Service lands that need to be restored have enough seed supply.
A dedicated workforce is needed to source seeds from private and public lands, process and store them, and monitor cone production — activities that will ramp up reforestation efforts.
We’ve partnered with the state of California, federal agencies, NGOs, academics and private industry to help facilitate the California Cone Corps, a new workforce development pathway program.
