SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Engage with Regional Partners to Inform High Quality Planning and Implementation
Regenerative Forest Solutions (RFS) is working to support and scale ecological forest practices in Sonoma County through our Small-diameter Utilization Feasibility Study (FS). Our research will work to help lead to an increase in the utilization of small-diameter timber from hardwood and softwood species in our identified woodshed. The FS will: analyze feedstock quantity and quality; establish investment resources required; assess the benefits of small-diameter utilization for our communities and ecosystems; and, research potential frameworks to ensure that onsite ecology is less compromised when removing woody feedstock from a site.
