From top left: The Beachie Creek fire left a deeply burned landscape, devoid of viable tree seed supply and newly exposed to the elements, the steep terrain made traditional replanting hazardous work; an established ponderosa pine as seen in October 2025 with at least three years of new growth; a short film by Mast of the (unplanned) trek in to see the project area by foot.
Restoring Biodiversity
In addition to carbon removal, the project supports climate resilient forests that improve wildlife habitat and soil quality, further supporting the health of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Culturally Significant Area
The Molalla Watershed is already showing encouraging signs of ecological recovery. Local communities have reported the return of species with important conservation and cultural significance in this new early-seral conifer forest.
Perpetual Conservation
The conservation easement held by the Center for Natural Lands Management protects the land from development, logging, or subdivision, protecting the land for its native species and surrounding communities in perpetuity.
Seeding by Drone
Henry Creek was the first project site for Mast’s proprietary drone-based enhanced seeding technology. Mast deployed more than 1.2 million seeds across nearly 300 acres using this new technology.
Seedings Planted by Hand
More than 825,000 seedlings were planted across the entire project area using traditional methods over the following two years.
Restoring Native Species
To restore the area’s natural diversity of conifers lost in the fire, a diverse mix of native conifer species were planted through this partnership, including Douglas‑fir and several native true firs adapted to local site conditions.
