What We Do
We support organizations working with communities and landowners to restore forests along waterways. Projects range from the watershed scale to small streams and ditches. A new program helps nurseries growing local ecotypes for riparian restoration.
How We Can Help
Project development, technical and scientific assistance, connection to resources, and fostering collaboration with other partners. We can help with details of implementation, landowner outreach, and volunteer coordination. We work remotely as well as on-the-ground.
Why It's Important
Reforesting waterways is imperative for improving flood resiliency, water quality, and wildlife habitat. Our goal is to improve the capacity of organizations restoring riparian zones. We believe by working smartly, development needs of the community can be balanced with protecting the environment.
