RESTORING THE WILD
Reforestation + Invasive Species Eradication + Edible Forests + Soil RegenerationDuring the height of the Pandemic, we purchased 18 acres of logged land on the Olympic Peninsula. Little did we know how much this action would shape our future. Our depleted forest needed to heal as much as we did. We are learning how to live closer to the land and in harmony with nature. This has reminded us of what we already knew, we need to create climate solutions that bring vitality to regions and people wanting and needing another way.
Two-thirds of the Olympic Peninsula has been logged. Much of the private land has been severely cut, leaving vast stretches of stumps and brown earth.
-NEW YORK TIMESWe Work For The Earth. We’re on a mission to reforest the Olympic Peninsula, one-logged forest at a time.
Every Action Matters
We are taking multiple actions to restore logged forests, improve the health of our soil, and provide work opportunities.
What We’re Doing
Planting Trees!
Eradicating Invasive Species
Growing Food Forests
Burning Slash as Biochar as a means to sequester carbon, increase the yield, and retain water.
Composting ALL our Waste, Human and otherwise.
Our mission is simple. We want to leave the Earth better than we found it.
THE STORY OF COUGAR RUN
It all started with a van, two dogs, and a love of the Wild.
We are reforesters, lovers of Mother Earth, innovators, and doers.
REFORESTING
We live among the felled cedars on Cougar Run.
We make it a point to plant trees near each Giant to honor their existence.
Each tree we plant is love. Though we may not live long enough to see them tall, they are our hope for a healthy forest and a better Earth for generations to come - the Wild and the human.
