In case you missed it:

Have you read our most recent annual report? PFT has made significant advances in conservation, climate action, biodiversity protection, and the use of good fire to protect both communities and forests from catastrophic fire, and we're continuing to work hard to make progress towards these goals.

The next two weeks (before the end of the CA legislative season) are critical in our push for meaningful funding for wildfire mitigation.
Along with Resources Legacy Fund and our partners, we'll have billboards up around Sacramento.
We all need to let our Reps know how important this funding is!

We talk a lot about the ecosystem benefits of well-managed forests, from carbon storage, watershed health, wildlife habitat, and more.

But don't forget about the personal benefits of spending time in forests.

From boosting your immune system, to lowering blood pressure, to keeping stress hormones at bay, studies have shown that time in the forest makes us happier and healthier.

The West is experiencing more catastrophic fires than ever before. Right now in Oregon, 21 of the state’s 36 counties are under drought emergency declarations, and the season is only getting drier.

The growing scale and complexity of the wildfire crisis demands new approaches, which is why we hired Lauren Cahr as our new Project Manager for our Oregon Fuels, Forests, and Funding Initiative.

PFT’s Stewardship and Outreach Associate Lyndia Hammer recently presented on a panel at Northwest Land Camp, an Oregon and Washington Land Trusts conference in Florence, OR, discussing the use of prescribed fire.
Over 300 people attended Land Camp from land trusts all over Washington and Oregon. There is growing interest among land trusts in the use of prescribed fire as a restoration tool on conserved lands, often in collaboration with Indigenous Knowledge holders to facilitate cultural burns.

Carbon emissions are the # 1 contributor to climate change today. But forests have the capacity to store this carbon, pulling it safely from the air and storing it for hundreds and thousands of years. The bigger the tree, the more carbon it contains.

Learn about how Carbon Offsets get landowners paid for the trees that they don't cut, and how PFT is making a difference in the climate crisis through managing forests well.
