Forests call for long-term vision. We acknowledge and thank those before us: the generations of people, trees, and diverse forest communities who have carried the torch forward. We work with grief for environmental loss and dehumanizing histories, aiming to learn and do better.

We work for future generations, doing what we can in the present to grow opportunities for mutualism and healthy ways of life decades and centuries from now.

“And if this is your work too,
we work together.”
