Fuerza #15 — Redwood Forest Foundation Fuerza: Inside the Mind of the Ridden Athlete

Usal Lost Coast Hopper Oct. 1 takes place in remote Mendocino County in partnership with Redwood Forest Foundation. 
Join us as we discuss with founding member Richard Gienger, interim president and CEO Kathy Moxon and head forester Linwood Gill what it means to be both a non-profit and a timber company who's founding principles are "Ecology, Economy and Equity". 
They will share stories of the history of logging in the Redwood Empire and RFFI's current efforts and their vision for the future. 
RFFI's "Vision" is to establish community based forests that provide critical habitat for increased biodiversity and improved economic vitality." With a "Mission" to acquire, protect, restore and manage RFFI forestlands and other related resources in the Redwood Region for the long term benefit of the communities located here". 
Their efforts to involve indigenous communities, incorporate traditional management practices and to reach out to the scientific community to improve their knowledge on restoring the forest to a more productive, fire resilient forest for timber resources, water quality and wildlife habitat is inspiring.
