The Great Redwood Forest: Partners
The Great Redwood Forest is a vision of conservation organizations, timberland and mill owners, forest industry workers and local Humboldt County residents.
Humboldt County Organizations
Community Forestry Team
The Community Forestry Team (CFT) is leading The Great Redwood Forest project in Humboldt County. The CFT is a diverse, non-partisan, local group including timber industry insiders, economic development advocates and conservation interests dedicated to the long-term conservation of timberlands, environmental protection and implementation of community forestry practices in Humboldt County.
CFT goals include:
- Maintain working timberlands in permanent timber production, ensuring timber jobs and their associated economic benefits are a long-term, stable force in our local Humboldt economy
- Permanently protect remaining old-growth forests and environmentally significant habitat areas
- Transition from the Maxxam model of timber management to true sustainable timber management with community input and/or an ownership interest
The CFT seeks input from a broad cross-section of the community to help us achieve our goals.
Our member organizations include:
- Alliance for Sustainable Jobs and the Environment
- Humboldt Watershed Council
- Institute for Sustainable Forestry
- Redwood Forest Foundation, Inc.
- US Forest Capital
