Coast redwood is the most carbon-dense forest material on Earth. The heartwood resists rot for a century without treatment, and the grain on a piece of old-growth — sometimes thirty rings to the inch — cannot be reproduced by any second-growth plantation alive today.
And every year, on the San Mateo coast alone, hundreds of tons of it are crushed into landfill cells, where it slowly releases methane back into the atmosphere it was meant to defend. Most "wood recycling" treats redwood like any other timber. It is not. Diverting it into durable goods keeps the carbon sequestered for the lifetime of the product — often a century or more.
We do something the major land-acquisition nonprofits do not: we operate a working sawmill, an active reclamation pipeline, and forest-thinning capacity on the ground in the San Mateo redwood zone.
