Our purpose is to ensure the viability of community forest initiatives, to provide education on community forestry issues and to practice forestry as a strategy for ecosystem resilience and community economic development.
The Community Forest started a Firewood Program in 2021 due to the unmet need for firewood in our community. They had been referring people looking for firewood to local suppliers who were not taking new clients, receiving unprecedented reports of timber poaching for firewood, and thought helping meet the need for firewood could help address both problems.
