SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Engage with Regional Partners to Inform High Quality Planning and Implementation
RFFI has invited CFI to work with them to determine how best to use the aggregate material generated from their forest restoration projects. They can offer a temporary landing site where poles can be sorted and utilized for a variety of purposes. Determining best practices for leaving most of the biomass in the forest is key tenet to vision of forest reciprocity. We plan to establish a collaborative partnership and develop a business plan to implement a pilot project at Usal Redwood Forest, with RFFI. This project will include a mobile processing unit to aggregate woody biomass, with a focus on small diameter poles, for housing, outbuildings and furniture kits.
