Ecosystem Services

Ecosystem services is a new concept that connects people

who would like to actively do something constructive for the health of our planet,

with people like us who can make that desire become reality.

Planting trees may seem a trivial endeavor, but living trees serve many purposes including: cooling the earth's surface; pumping oxygen into the air; sequestering carbon from the atmosphere; providing homes for wildlife; or simply, beauty.

Our Tree Planting Program

This is the perfect timeless, lasting gift

for someone special or just

a little eco-indulgence for youself.

Have one tree, or many, planted

in your own name or for someone special,

in your choice of conifer trees:

Sugar Pine, Ponderosa Pine,

Incense Cedar, Red Cedar, Port Orford Cedar,

Coastal Redwood or Giant Sequoia.

And for those who asked about deciduous trees:

Oregon Ash, Red Alder or Bigleaf Maple.

For only $5.00 , a healthy two year old seedling,

8-12” in height will be planted.

You or your loved one will receive a photo

of the trees in their new home.

If you have an entire stand, or small community

of trees planted (100 plus), a plaque will be erected

with the appropriate dedication.

Don’t worry,… We take care of the little guys

after they are planted. We can even send you

update pics in the future, if you would like.

It will make you feel a little closer

to this beautiful Earth of ours!

Other Programs/Goals

Riparian project- A roadway that runs adjacent to the creek will be moved over ten feet and a green riparian strip planted to cool the creek corridor.

Expansion project- There is so much land around us that needs work. One of our goals is to purchase as much additional acreage as possible to improve using our Forest Farm management principles.

Native species Seed Bank- Many species of native shrubs and trees grow here. Seed collection is a means of ensuring that those species are never lost.

Enrichment plantings to increase both structural and functional diversity on a hot South slope where little was left for us, after a timber theft.

Density reduction and cleanup in an area along our property line where logging debri was shoved, is needed to reduce fire risk.

Workshop construction is a priority for the upcoming year. We have managed with individual sheds, shops and the barn, but we must consolidate to improve productivity and quality.

There is a great deal of work to be done to conserve, protect and care for our forest and this costs a great deal of money.
