IRS990/Desc0EcoForesters is a nonprofit professional forestry organization dedicated to conserving and restoring our Appalachian forests through education and stewardship. Forests are threatened by unsustainable management practices, invasive species infestations, fragmentation, and climate change. We provide professional forestry consulting services to private forestland owners, partner with other conservation organizations, and educate communities and the public about positive impact forestry. We also raise funds to help steward permanently protected land trust or publicly owned forests. At EcoForesters, we believe that ecologically beneficial forestry has the power to restore resilience and diversity to our Appalachian forests Even during the COVID pandemic in 2020, EcoForesters launched and fully funded (for $60,000) our Forest Restoration and Stewardship (FOREST) Fund to match any stewardship funds land trusts put into improving forests they own. This can double ($120,000 in total work can be done) the the impact of any forest improvement work, like controlling non-native invasive plants, on these permanently protected lands. We also continued our Sandy Mush Forest Resotration Project in conjunction with our partners, the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy and The Forest Stewards Guild. The coalition pivoted and produced a series of 25 videos to help virtually educate landowners worldwide on ecological forest stewardship, which have been viewed over 9,000 times. The coalition also put on a webinar on invasive plants. We have received funding for the project for 2021 as well.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In 2020 EcoForesters provided professional forestry consulting services to 85 forestland owners covering over 15,000 acres. We completed invasive plant treatment for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians The Southern Appalachians Highlands Conservancy, Wildlands Engineering, and NC Game Lands. Across western NC, EcoForesters' staff wrote over 27 comprehensive ecological forest stewardship plans covering over 3,000 acres, including thorough recommendations for enhancing biodiversity, wildlife habitat, controlling invasive species, restorative timber management, recreation, and aesthetics Furthermore, EcoForesters expanded its on-the-ground impacts by doubling the number of invasive plant control projects we completed, including over 100 acres on permanently conserved land. EcoForesters also conducted 2 sustainable and even ecologically beneficial timber harvests (including for oak restoration) along with timber appraisals on over 40 acres to meet the landowners' goals while providing for future generations too. We did general ecological forestry consulting for another 10 clients covering 273-acres to help them improve their forests. We also planted trees to afforest an abandoned pasture and to stabilize restored stream banks. Finally, we continued to update ongoing forest carbon sequestration projects, and explored new options for landowners to get compensated for the carbon they store on their property. All with the goal of using forests to mitigate climate change's effects on forests
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Staff also were involved in advising the US Forest Service in the development of the Forest Management Plan for the 1-million-acre Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests. Along with dozens of partners like Mt. True, The Nature Conservancy, the timber products industry, The Wilderness Society, as well as recreational and wildlife advocates, EcoForesters advocated for ecological restoration and conflict resolution that will impact forest management for the next 15-20 years. We are also committed to helping the USFS implement this plan and make wise management decisions. We continued to publish two newsletters per year and presented at multiple webinars to reach an audience far and wide. EcoForesters is committed to make a positive impact on our forests through both education and boots-on-the-ground work.
