About Mast Reforestation:
As a leading forest restoration company in the U.S., Mast Reforestation (Mast) is on a mission to make ecological recovery scalable for wildfire-impacted landscapes. As bigger and hotter fires destroy more forestland every year, Mast provides innovative solutions for landowners facing the aftermath of devastating wildfires.
Recently, Mast develops projects of burial of post-wildfire biomass, addressing areas that are ecologically and financially challenged after high-severity wildfire. This approach sequesters carbon for centuries while funding comprehensive land restoration.
As the only vertically integrated forest restoration company in the industry, Mast has removed the financial and procedural barriers that typically stand in the way of post-fire recovery. Through trusted forestry companies Silvaseed and Cal Forest in its portfolio, Mast operates the largest seed bank and reforestation container stock producer in the Western U.S. These nurseries continue to provide critical reforestation services, collecting diverse native seed species and producing seedlings for restoration projects across the West.
