Conservation in Missouri depends on capital that doesn't yet exist at scale — and most of the institutions that benefit from healthy land sit outside the funding equation. With the Missouri Department of Conservation, we're mapping where the dollars flow, where they don't, and what would change that.

Nearly half of all US land is farmed, and integrating trees back into that landscape could reshape both farm economics and the demand for tree seedlings. Our latest research module maps where US agroforestry stands today, what's driving it, and where it's headed.

Our 2023 Nursery Assessment looked at the supply side of the US reforestation market. This second research module turns to demand — mapping timberland ownership, value chains, and the seedling demand trajectory in the single largest segment of the market.

Of the 6.7 million acres of private California forestland that needs fuel treatment, 4 million sit in high-poverty areas — and at current treatment rates, the hardest-hit counties are 95 years from catching up. We mapped where the resilience gap is sharpest.

Our 2023 Nursery Assessment mapped the supply side of the US reforestation market. This new research is the demand-side companion — establishing where sustainable land use projects are happening, why, and what they'll need in capital, seedlings, and other inputs.

The US is short roughly a billion tree seedlings a year, and the supply chain is contracting just as demand surges. We visited operators across 20 states to map every nursery that matters — and designed the financing facility we think can change the trajectory.
