Happy Earth Day from all of us at Pacific Forest Trust! The health & future of our planet depends on thriving forest ecosystems. We're working to transform the way our forests are managed--creating lasting benefits for people, wildlife, the climate, and the home we all share.

Check out this recent op-ed by Carlos Garcia in The Oregonian, exploring how shared values around clean water, healthy lands, & strong communities can help move beyond long-standing natural resource conflicts, and how land trusts play an important role. bit.ly/4mEAoHY

2025 was a landmark year for @PacificForest Trust! From returning 900 acres of ancestral land to the SouthernSierra @MiwukNation to pioneering Nature Based Climate Credits in CA. Read our full 2025 wrap up pacificforest.org/forest-flash-1… #ForestConservation #ClimateAction #WorkingForests

@LakotaMan1 It's been an honor working with the Southern Sierra Miwuk to help them regain this land. @PacificForest #yosemite

The deal was made possible by the Pacific Forest Trust and the State of California. amp.fresnobee.com/news/californi…

Celebrate with us. The Miwuk Nation had 900 acres of their ancestral homelands returned to them. The Miwuk were forcibly removed from their lands to make way for white invaders back in the 1800’s.

At last! Reunited with a portion of their #Yosemite homeland after the So.Sierra Miwuk's brutal removal 175 years ago. Time for celebration -- of cultural and ecological healing and renewal. Honored to have played a role with @PacificForest With thanks to @CalNatResources

Let's harness nature for permanent, additional #climate benefits when California renews cap+trade. Brilliant! #nature #forests #conservation capitolweekly.net/nature-based-c…
