In the News:
“GREENVILLE, Calif. — To descend the grade of State Highway 89 into the rubble of Greenville is to retrace the steps of a community’s trauma. It was here that the second largest wildfire in California history — and the first ever to burn from one side of the Sierra Nevada to the other — decimated the town of about 1,000 people.”

“Creating a high-value, value-added product like CLT panels from forest restoration work is not only good business, it’s the foundation of building a regenerative economy in the Northern Sierra,” said Sierra Institute Executive Director Jonathan Kusel.”
