FOREVER REDWOOD IS WORKING WITH NEW ISLAND CAPITAL OF SAN FRANCISCO

As part of our mission to restore forestlands, Forever Redwood is working with New Island Capital of San Francisco to purchase Redwood and Douglas-fir logs from their Restoration Forestry work on lands near Garberville, CA.
New Island Capital manages over 20,000 acres in and around Humboldt County.
The land manager for New Island Capital is forester Tim Metz.
Tim has a long history of practical conservation, excellent forestry practices and forest activism going back decades including working on the fight over the Headwaters Forest in the early 90's.
Tim shares our passion for restoring the species composition, standing tree volume and all the other nerdy statistics that go into bringing back the majesty of mature and ancient forestlands.
Forever Redwood is happy to join with New Island Capital to further promote and finance good forestry in the Redwoods and hopefully beyond.
Each furniture purchase helps finance this work that is desperately needed worldwide as a counter to global warming.
Restoration forestry is slowly becoming the new normal in Northern California. Back in the early 90's when Forever Redwood began operations, the common wisdom was that Restoration was a pipe dream and that smart money would go elsewhere. Forever Redwood and a few other "idealists" persevered and today, at least in Northern California, a significant portion of forestlands are being managed under plans that were considered impractical just 2 decades ago.
