About Pacific Forest Trust
Pacific Forest Trust (PFT) delivers landscape-scale private forest conservation in the West and develops innovative incentives for private forest conservation at the national level. We do so in ways that reward private landowners for managing for public benefits, i.e., clean water, a healthy climate, and habitat for abundant native wildlife. Our work sustains rural communities and restores resilient forest landscapes across ownership boundaries. PFT is recognized nationally as a leader in developing new payment systems for ecosystems services, from climate to carbon, working forest conservation easements, watershed and habitat services, and sustainable, renewable biomass energy.
PFT has led the conservation of over 360,000 acres of forestland and stewards conservation easements on over 130,000 acres. PFT also owns 2,300 acres and manages 15,000 acres for sustained forest, timber, water, and habitat values. Our projects are outstanding not only for their scale but for their landscape impacts and high standards for delivering multiple public benefits. PFT is thrice accredited by the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission. Learn more at http://www.PacificForest.org
