Mast Reforestation 🌲 Restoring forests after wildfire
🪵 Biomass burial + reforestation

10/21/2026

Meteorologist and journalist, Chase Cain, has traveled the world to tell climate stories that need more attention.

Chase grounded our event in the reality that the scale of catastrophic wildfire is growing and has no signs of slowing down. Neither does the supply of dead, unusable biomass across landscapes impacted by severe fire and storm events.

Landowners struggle with the high cost of cleanup, often leaving behind wood that can’t pay its way out of the forest, and resort to pile burning, which poses immediate hazards by releasing harmful pollutants and carbon into the atmosphere.

Fire recovery efforts shouldn’t have to put more smoke into the air.

Brian Vrablick, Intermountain Region Manager at American Forest Management, shares that land managers today often face a frustrating dilemma after a wildfire: pile burning is often the only economic option for the massive amounts of biomass fires leave behind.

In many locations too remote for mills to absorb, biomass burial can flip this problem into an opportunity. It’s an economical tool to process biomass on-site to accelerate forest recovery and protect surrounding ecosystems.

Watch the clip from to hear Brian’s insights on the current state of forest management and why developing biomass solutions is urgent.

Friends, family, buyers—they all ask us the same thing: what happens to your project when everyone involved today is gone?

Many carbon removal companies are less than ten years old, building projects that need to last a century to multiple centuries. This work requires structures built to last.

Mast relies on proven tools: conservation easements to protect the land, dedicated long-term stewardship funding, and an independent third-party structure designed to ensure durable carbon removal credits for decades to come.

We are in the middle of another brutal fire season.

Many of you are thinking about someone out in the smoke right now.

Take three minutes to meet Jessica Braun, Owner of Jessica Davison. She spent six years on hand crews, including two with the Bitterroot Hotshots. Today, she works the other side of the fire.

A dead tree can still help a forest recover.

After the 2021 Poverty Flats Fire, much of the Gentry Ranch was left covered in fire-killed trees. Years later, many of those trees are still standing, while others have snapped under wind and winter weather.

In this photo, a planter is intentionally placing a new ponderosa pine seedling at the base of one of those standing dead trees.

The snag can give the young seedling a better shot at establishment: providing shade during hot summer months, helping water collect nearby, and offering some protection from hungry wildlife.

It’s a small detail, but one that speaks to the complexity of restoring a forest after wildfire. The burned wood doesn’t simply disappear when the flames are out.

At the Gentry Ranch, some of that fire-killed biomass was put to work through Mast’s biomass burial project, helping finance the planting of thousands of locally adapted seedlings across the property.

At Company, watching life break through the soil never gets old.

While its neighbors have already dropped their seedcoats and fully extended their needles, this little pine seedling is still in what we call the “birdcage” stage.

Before a seedling opens up to embrace the sun, the seedcoat often holds the tips of the newly emerging needles together, forming a delicate, cage-like structure. As the seedling grows stronger, it will naturally shed this outer shell and expand its canopy.

Every giant forest starts with small, deliberate wonders like this one.

How does a 100+ year carbon removal project stay protected if the original developer is acquired, restructures, or no longer exists?

Fair question. None of those changes should end the responsibility to monitor, maintain, and protect the stored carbon.

Mast created a dedicated long-term stewardship fund for MT1. The endowment ensures there is support for the monitoring, reporting, verification, equipment replacement, site inspections, repairs, and potential reversal obligations across the project’s 100-year life.

For buyers, this creates continuity beyond our team today.

A durability claim should not depend on the developer remaining unchanged for a century. It should be backed by funding and legal protections designed to keep the project accountable over time.

We’ve never been so excited to watch grass grow. 🌱

At MT1, fire-killed trees were removed, biomass was durably stored, and the site was restored and reseeded—all in less than half a year.

Now, grasses are growing back. Wildlife is returning. And the project is disappearing back into the landscape.

That’s the point: leave as little trace as possible, and leave the land better than we found it.

Meet DJ, Silvaseed’s bareroot grower. 🌲

From preparing fields and managing irrigation to trimming roots and lifting seedlings at just the right time, bareroot production requires a specialized set of skills.

If it can be done with a tractor, DJ is the expert.

He also keeps equipment running across Silvaseed’s fields, greenhouses, kiln, and seed operations, helping millions of seedlings move from nursery rows to the forests and landscapes that need them.

Some folks welcome the morning sun with coffee. Others with seedlings. 

Company’s outplanting team starts bright and early to get seedlings moved from the nursery to the bareroot fields to harden for another full year. This strengthens their shoots, allows their roots to grow deeper, and prepares them for the rugged conditions in which they will be placed.
