Project Background
American Forest Foundation, World Resources Institute and Blue Forest Conservation propose to develop a pay-for-success approach called the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which would catalyze private investment to help pay for forest restoration activities and reduce wildfire risk in the American West. While this approach is also being explored for implementation on public lands, this project will pilot the FRB approach on private forest lands.
