“Climate technology innovator Mast Reforestation is on a mission to mitigate the worst effects of a changing climate by replanting burnt forests in a cost-effective way."

"Mast Reforestation is building a tech-forward forest-as-a-service company that vastly simplifies and accelerates the process of restoring lands lost to wildfires."

“...there’s also no denying the urgent need to adapt to a world in which wildfires are both more frequent and more ferocious. If a little VC money can help grow the supply of seedlings for wildfire reforestation, in my mind, that is money well-spent…”
 
- Heather Clancy, Greenbiz

“Mast recently purchased Silvaseed, one of the oldest seed businesses in the nation, and it is now expanding to become the largest private seed banks in the West, growing millions of seedlings.”
 
– Diana Olick, CNBC

“Mast Reforestation closed $15 million in project financing from carbon credits supplier Carbon Streaming to restore forests destroyed by wildfires in the American West”

“It’s not often in…tech startups that you find a group of people not just attempting to solve a serious problem but who have…done the dirty, boots-on-the-ground work that needs to happen.”

More about Mast

Here are some Mast descriptions. Feel free to include them when writing about our business.

Boilerplate

Mast Reforestation is the world’s first and only end-to-end reforestation company. As bigger and hotter fires destroy more forestland every year, often leaving no viable reforestation options, Mast combines forestry and tech to provide faster and more resilient forest restoration at no cost to landowners. Since its founding in 2015, Mast has been on a mission to make reforestation scalable. Today, Mast provides everything from collecting native, diverse seed species to site prepping, planting, and ongoing monitoring, using carbon financing to pay for it all. Mast encompasses a portfolio of trusted companies: DroneSeed, Silvaseed, and Cal Forest, which bring over 130 years of nursery experience and make Mast Reforestation the largest private supplier of seed and seedlings in the Western U.S. For more information, visit www.mastreforest.com.
