Planning
We task satellites to map your land and create a reforestation plan tailored to your site and goals. Then we conduct site preparation and cultivate the seedlings at our nurseries.
No-Cost Reforestation
Let’s work together to reforest your burned acreage at no cost.
When you partner with Mast, we handle the details:
Planting
We coordinate the outplanting of a custom-tailored seedling prescription on your site, and monitor for establishment and growth
No-Cost
We cover 100% of reforestation costs and generate a cash return through the sale of carbon removal credits.

How it Works
Detailed Project Overview
Introduction
In our first conversations, we review our project process and eligibility requirements, and align on next steps.
Overview
We provide you with a Landowner Solutions Overview, including an outline of the project, and projected financials. If we are aligned, we sign a non-binding Letter of Intent to move forward with the project
Evaluation
We task satellites to map your burned acreage and begin to prepare a thorough Landowner Evaluation Report (LER). The LER contains detailed overview of burned acreage, historical tree cover analysis and planting prescription for the new forest to maximize fire resiliency. The LER also includes an estimated financial breakdown and landowner return potential.
Agreement
If you decide to move forward with the project, we will prepare the Project Development Agreement, which is a legally-binding agreement between you and Mast.
Seed
We sow seed from our extensive seed bank at our two nurseries and grow seedlings tailored to your project. We also provide seed-collection services to find seed adapted to your area if we do not already have it in our seed bank.
Site Preparation
As soon as weather conditions allow, we begin site preparation on your burned acreage and prepare for planting.
Planting
We plant the seedlings on your site and monitor their establishment and growth rates.
Monitoring
Seedlings are monitored for survival and growth after planting. One year post-planting, the project is confirmed by the carbon registry, and carbon removal credits are issued.
Payment
Once the carbon credits are issued, you receive a cash return on your project. Your seedlings are monitored every 3-5 years to ensure reforestation success.
