, and our colleagues and partners in the effort to support reforestation efforts across the United States would like to invite stakeholders to complete this brief 15-minute survey:🔗 IN BIO

We are seeking input from stakeholders who are valued partners or potential collaborators in the network that plans for, plants and grows forest 🌲 seedlings 🌲 on public and private lands across the 🇺🇸. We need your help to identify critical gaps and areas for future investment in the reforestation workforce, nursery systems, planning, partnerships, and ex*****on of reforestation efforts.

We’re proud that, over the course of the last decade, reforestation has been recognized as a critical nature-based solution in America’s forested lands. Our existing network of reforestation partners has deployed significant resources (public and private) to support this important work, and this increased funding is making a difference; however, we also recognize there is a lot of work yet to be done and there are some critical gaps in our current systems. We will use the findings of this survey to identify, target and work on solutions to fill these key gaps.

**This survey will remain open until January 31, 2025**

In addition to completing the survey, please share this message and survey with colleagues in reforestation who may also benefit from participating.

Please direct any additional questions to: [email protected].

Special thank you to Volgenau Climate Initiative for your support of this initiative.

Did You Know that our team has invested in assessing the value of Ecosystem Services at various scales across the 🇺🇸 over the last decade thru our partnership with Equilibrium Economics?

Our approach is rooted in building a robust database of economic and environmental data that informs a highly collaborative analysis and valuation of up to 21 potential Ecosystem Services (including air quality, water quality, soil quality, wildlife habitat, recreation, etc). We then co-develop an assessment with our client partners and vested stakeholders that is focused on key policy recommendations that inform and empower action!
