FROM FOOTPRINT TO RECOVERY

Our first project will accelerate economic recovery for wildfire survivors while reducing the intensity of future fires.

With family and friends who are wildfire survivors, we’re driven to help survivors. Regeneration from a wild fire can take a long time. Near our old family cabin, which did not survive the Rim Fire, a meadow was the scar from a Gold Rush fire. People and local economies can recover more quickly than the forest can.

We will apply the same skills to this project that we apply to our projects for small to mid-sized business clients. We have partners in place for the first project.

With funding, we will have successes starting in the Sierra. Similar projects have succeeded around the world for thousands of years. We can learn how to do things better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH5zJxQETl4WW

BUSINESS MODEL

Wildfire Survivors with skills and ideas who are recommended by local leaders will be invited to apply to the Forest to Farm to Fork Incubator and, if accepted, get full support for their businesses.
