DeepForest is a land management and research organization based in Murphys, California in the heart of the Sierra Nevada foothills. We combine ecological science and advanced technology to shape the forests of tomorrow. Forests play a vital role in local communities and the global fight against climate change. Our work restores native ecology in damaged areas, adapts forests for climate change and wildfire risks, and leverages forests as a tool to capture and permanently sequester atmospheric carbon.
Carbon Capture
Focusing on carbon sequestration, biochar is a carbon-rich material made from plant waste that improves soil health and locks carbon away for centuries.
Wildfire Risk Reduction
Fuel reduction is the strategic removal of excess vegetation to lower wildfire risk and support healthier, more resilient forests.
Good Ecology
Our work is rooted in collaboration with local crews, landowners, and conservation partners to help restore and sustain natural ecosystems.
What We Do
Forest Management: Offering sustainable forestry practices, selective harvesting, and habitat restoration services to promote healthy forest ecosystems.
Technology Partnerships: Working with technology organizations to advance research and technology within forest management.
Carbon Sequestration Programs: Implementing biochar production and other carbon capture techniques to mitigate climate change while improving soil health.
Fire Prevention: Providing strategic thinning, prescribed burns, and creating defensible spaces to reduce wildfire risks in vulnerable areas.
Ecosystem Monitoring: Using advanced technology to track forest health, biodiversity metrics, and ecological responses to climate change.
Consultation Services: Offering expert advice on climate-adaptive forestry techniques tailored to specific ecosystems and needs.
