Reforestation services for post-wildfire landscapes, funded by carbon removal credits.
Mast Reforestation is North America's leading post-fire reforestation and carbon removal company that specializes in restoring wildfire-damaged landscapes across the American West. They provide comprehensive reforestation services from seed collection to site restoration, operating two nurseries (Cal Forest Nurseries and Silvaseed) that maintain the largest seed bank in the western United States and grow over 30 million seedlings annually. Their services include developing carbon removal credits through biomass burial, direct reforestation work with landowners, and reducing post-fire hazards.
Mast was founded with the mission of addressing the massive reforestation gap facing North America, where restoring the 6 million acres already lost in the U.S. would traditionally take 50 years. The company's tagline "Restoration for Resilience" reflects their commitment to not just replanting forests, but creating resilient ecosystems that can withstand future environmental challenges.
Mast's impact addresses both climate change and ecological restoration by financing reforestation through carbon removal credits, making forest restoration economically viable in areas that are ecologically and financially challenged after high-severity wildfires. Their work jumpstarts ecological recovery for generations while providing corporate clients with meaningful carbon removal solutions, fundamentally changing the trajectory of forest restoration in the western United States.
Mast creates impact through an innovative financing model that uses carbon removal credits generated from biomass burial to fund comprehensive reforestation projects across wildfire-damaged landscapes. This approach makes forest restoration economically viable in areas that would otherwise remain unrestored due to financial constraints, addressing both the immediate need for carbon removal and long-term ecological recovery.
Their integrated approach spans the entire reforestation value chain, from maintaining massive seed banks and growing millions of seedlings annually to direct site restoration and ongoing forest management. This comprehensive model ensures successful forest regeneration while providing measurable carbon sequestration outcomes for corporate clients seeking credible carbon removal solutions.
