For two decades, REF has implemented regenerative land and forest management approaches that improve soil health, water function, habitat quality, and long-term productivity.
we’re able to reforest more land for every dollar invested
By combining voluntary private engagement with state and federal conservation programs, we are able to restore more land, more efficiently, while ensuring that outcomes are durable, measurable, and locally beneficial.
Our work supports landowners and communities in stewarding their land for the long term — strengthening both natural systems and rural economies.
“The Regional Conservation Partnership Program is a public-private partnership working at its best. The new projects will harness the power of partnership to help bring about solutions to natural resource concerns across the country while supporting our efforts to combat the climate crisis.”

Delivering meaningful impacts.
We work closely with state and federal partners to identify and access large scale project sites with the most meaningful and beneficial impact on landscapes, ecosystems, and surrounding communities. Our projects build on established state and federal conservation easement programs for marginal lands, ensuring that our reforestation efforts will be permanently maintained and managed.
Partnering for long-term verifiable outcomes.
Partnerships are the cornerstone of our work. Together, we restore landscapes and strengthen communities.
