❓ Do you know what happens to the remains of trees after wildfires? Well... nothing really. They lie around and are a hazard for people doing reforestation work, and they also create a greater risk for future fires. 💡🌲 Mast Reforestation has come up with an innovative way to help solve this situation for everyone across the board - from the planet, to land owners, to carbon removal buyers -- and it's called biomass burial. 🎙️ In this episode of #Carbonsations, CEO and Founder Grant Canary argues that this approach not only results in durable carbon removal, but brings about a whole list of co-benefits as well. Namely: 🔹Buyers get carbon credits that can be retired much sooner compared to other nature-based solutions 🔹This means biomass burial can be scaled faster, and it's also cheaper to do than many alternatives 🔹Landowners can proceed with reforestation efforts 🔹Dangerous logs are done away with, removing the risk for workers, and making sure the CO2 they store isn't released back into the atmosphere 🔹Everyone wins ✨ 🎧 Listen to the full episode on your favorite podcast platform and be sure to subscribe!
