ABOUT SIFCo

 

SIFCo's goal is to be a leader in bioregionally based Climate Change adaptation, community resiliency, ecosystem based management and economic diversification.  We use the platform of Community Forestry to think beyond the border of our tenured lands (35000 acres) and participate in the creation of a truly resilient bioregion and community.

We are very aware of the challenges that we are currently facing as a 
human family and are actively building the foundational framework for 
resilience at a bioregional scale.  This includes Landscape Level 
Wildfire Protection Planning using the best available science.  We are 
also beginning the process of empirically reconstructing the 
historical range of variability in the land base to better predict 
what is coming our way.

We are imagining a future where ecosystems are able to withstand 
rapidly changing conditions and doing the work today to exponentially help our land base be more and more resilient.  This work includes the considerations of all values associated with complex ecosystems.

SIFCo's goal is also to provide our community with the opportunity 
to manage, sustain, and enjoy the benefits from local forest 
resources and from the forest that surrounds us.
 

Keeping jobs and profits local, and supporting local entrepreneurs 
with opportunities and a variety of forest-based raw materials, are 
integral components of our management plan.
