Description
May 24 on The Story: Although many fires these days are human-caused, wildfire itself is a natural phenomenon to which forests are adapted. But the impacts of climate change have contributed to a supercharging of those fires, leaving burn scars that are much more devastated than the Pacific Northwest has historically seen. As a result, reforestation in anything like a timely manner requires human intervention. Mast Reforestation is a company that does that hard and expensive work, and they do it by exchanging carbon credits in return for landowners funding their efforts to replant. They think it's the market-based way to fight climate change while restoring forests that've been hurt by it.
