Mast Reforestation: Restoring Forests and Capturing Carbon
Mast Reforestation is on a mission to restore forests devastated by catastrophic wildfires while capturing carbon to combat climate change. With innovative reforestation techniques and a commitment to sustainability, they are leading the charge in creating high-quality carbon removal credits.
What We Do
Mast develops carbon removal credits specifically for forests in the American West. Their approach focuses on reforesting areas that struggle to recover after severe burns, ensuring future fire resilience. This not only helps the environment but also supports local ecosystems.
Carbon Removal Credits
Mast's carbon removal credits are a vital part of their strategy. By restoring forests, they generate credits that companies can purchase, contributing to their sustainability goals. This symbiotic relationship helps fund further reforestation efforts and promotes environmental responsibility.
Seed and Seedlings
One of the biggest challenges in reforestation is the critically low supply of seeds. Mast operates the largest seed bank in the western United States, producing over 30 million seedlings annually at their two nurseries. This ensures a steady supply of native plants essential for successful reforestation.
No-Cost Reforestation
Mast offers no-cost reforestation services to landowners affected by wildfires. By partnering with local foresters, they help landowners restore their forestland using advanced reforestation technology. This collaborative approach not only aids in recovery but also fosters community engagement.

For Landowners
In 2021, the Harris Mountain fire devastated the Sheep Creek Ranch in Montana. Owner Don, determined to restore his property, collaborated with local forester Zack Bashoor to explore reforestation options. Their partnership exemplifies the proactive steps landowners can take to recover from wildfire damage.
For Foresters
While working in Montana, Mast frequently collaborated with Zack Bashoor, a local forester. Together, they strategized solutions for post-wildfire reforestation challenges. Their partnership is now focused on reforesting 2,700 acres just outside Yellowstone National Park, showcasing the power of collaboration in environmental recovery.
