Wildfire Recovery Through Carbon Innovation
A look at the potential
for biomass burial.
Decked logs across the MT1 landscape
Storm damage in the Daniel Boone National Forest, Kentucky, April 2026
Fully excavated log burial chamber of high clay content soils
Chamber filled with 6k tons (enough to fill 171+ logging trucks) - August 2025
Logs 6' under a multi layered chamber cap with the native, nutrient rich topsoil as the final layer
CO2 and methane monitoring stations operational year-round to confirm logs aren't decomposing
Ponderosa cone collection in 2025 established the area's native seed bank
Project landowners holds new seedling destined for her property in Montana
Local operators incl. excavators, log haulers, receive a significant portion of each project budget
Landowners benefits from the removal of fire-killed trees. Wildfire fuel reduction vs unaddressed neighboring property (at right)

Mast specializes in biomass burial and reforestation for biodiversity to restore the ecosystem for its full potential
This solution can be deployed where timber infrastructure and other resources are lacking
